Fails WP:GNG due to a lack of any real significant media coverage. Footballer hasn't played fully-pro or internationally either, failing WP:NFOOTBALL. --Jimbo[online] 22:42, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. NFOOTY is irrelevant because he is notable as a freestyle footballer, not a traditional one. Anyway, he clearly passes GNG, as can be seen by either reading the article or searching gnews. Described as a "freestyle king ... who starred on the wing for Ware before going on to stardom" by The Guardian, Wingrove also has articles devoted to him in the Evening Standard, the Sunday People , The Independent , and a profile with Sport England.
