Billy Wingrove is an English freestyle footballer and ex-semi-professional footballer who rose to fame after running a YouTube channel with fellow freestyle footballer Jeremy Lynch. His channel named F2Freestylers has accumulated more than 10 million subscribers while his social media fan base has also grown bigger with his Instagram reaching more than 500k followers. Before fame, he had honed his footballing skills and later became a member of a young football freestyler group in London. Knowing that he originally comes from a footballing family, it wasn’t a question as to how he built his interest in playing football. In 2003, he joined the Nike Freestyle competition held in London Earl’s Court and made it to the semi-final rounds, beating nearly 6,000 participants but lost the game to his opponent, Hee Young Woo.

After fame, he began receiving multiple endorsements for known brands such as Disney, Sky Sports, Barclaycard, O2, and Coca-Cola. Shortly after he and Lynch made their own YouTube channel, Wingrove became more popular and has since been recognized for his skill in freestyle footballing. The two have made several collaborations with fellow footballers including Eden Hazard, Steven Gerrard, Neymar, Demarai Gray, Frank Lampard, Diego Costa, Luis Suárez, Riyad Mahrez, Lionel Messi, and Gerard Piqué. With his evident success, the Premier League team Tottenham Hotspur had recognized him as the first freestyler to be signed up as a professional Football Freestyler. In 2005, he was officially signed up to Tottenham as an official football freestyler and later began working on various projects intended for the local community, charities, and soccer schools.
