News story (scoop)

My dad’s work as scout for Liverpool FC extends to a charitable football foundation, which works in Africa.

Just heard two young players trained by him - originally from an African village where they play the game bare-foot - have been selected for their nation’s World Cup Squad in 2010.

Gonna pitch this as an exclusive to The Guardian sports section methinks.

Fun, fun, fun. I love zero to hero stories.
