Graeson Cooper is competing at the Reb Bull World Freestyle Footballe Champs in Sth Africa in a few weeks I think.
Graeson is the two time (and only) Yellow Fever Freestyle Football Championship winner.
Prob see a bit of him on your TV in next week or so.
Here is a quick vid of him in the meantime.
 
(although he is actually there cos he won the aussie comp - he is still worthy of putting in the NZ team thread imo)

Mad respect for Graeson, did he ever get that tee made up to wear at the tourney? With Yellow Fever etc on it.
You know we belong together...

Theres some amazing footage of Graeson on YouTube.

I really hope he does well in South Africa, he has a great attitude! MASSIVE pity its not on at the same time as the World Cup, as I'm attending that and would've loved to catch Graeson in the Freestyle Champs!

Does anyone know where we will be able to get news/results from the Competition as it unfolds? Think it starts April 28th!

Graeson has narrowly missed out on a place in the Top 16. The competitors were split into 8 groups over 2 days with the top 2 from each section making the Final. Graeson finished 3rd in his group - an agonising 2 points behind the runner-up!
Nevertheless a great effort in his first appearance at this competition - watch out for him next year!
