Lincoln CA graduates tell Rooney and Torres how to play football.

Mike Cuthell and Phil Monks who graduated from Creative Advertising in 2008 are currently working at Wieden+Kennedy where they have just finished filming the latest Nike Football commercial.

The ad, which features Wayne Rooney and Fernando Torres practicing their shooting accuracy with a difference, has already featured on Sky's Soccer AM show. The full 60 second version will be airing on TV on January 27th. It also features as the centerpiece on the Nike Football website.

Mike and Phil have created a really great piece of work and have had an amazing experience in making the commercial. Here are a few words from the boys.

"To be totally honest, when a Nike brief lands on your desk, it's not something you take lightly. Fear, excitement and a sudden realisation that you have no idea where to begin. It's been a good few months in the making and it's finally here. It's already sparked a few debates online. I guess the best thing you can do is just watch it".
