Ex-premier league striker Troy Deeney and YouTuber James Allcott are on a journey to find BBC Sport's next football content creator. From over 400 original applicants, they've narrowed it down to the final 12. We meet our wannabe pundits and find out what it would mean to them to win their dream job as a BBC Sport football contributor.They face the first of many kick-off challenges as they attempt to hit the crossbar at Everton's Goodison Park. And they're joined by star YouTuber and special guest judge Max Fosh who sets them their first big challenge: to make as much viral content as possible in three hours, with access all areas to Premier League Brighton's stadium. We see the two losing pairs face off in the Last Stand – a brutal test of their football knowledge – after which, the loser could be sent home.
