As a football manager picking your starting team is one thing but explaining your decision to the assembled press corps is a different task entirely!

That's the approach we adopted for this spot promoting "Fox Sports FC - The Greatest XI".  On the website viewers are invited to pick their all-time World Cup eleven from a list of legendary names whilst on the show a whole slew of respected pundits discuss the merits of the prospective candidates for each position.

I came up with the concept as well as scripting, editing, directing and producing the spot.  

The excellent Ed Russell anchored the spot, the ever jolly Jean Liew worked on the graphics and the mix was done by Suite Sound.

The press corps consisted of John Dykes, Paul Garton, Andrew Whitelaw and Niharika Kalra.

The managers were: Sabrina Abu Bakar, Dan Ogunshakin, Jaryll Tjioe, Mildred Chan, Christopher Walker-Smith, Kammal Vojodi, Emaad Akhtar and Widya Chen.
