Here’s a more in-depth look at the stars of the ad:
One thing that links Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Steph Houghton and Jordan Nobbs is their stand out for their leadership, consistency and lasting impact on the game.
Kieran Trippier’s journey has taken him from Manchester City’s academy to the Premier League and beyond. After impressing at Burnley and starring for Tottenham in their run to the 2019 Champions League final, he secured silverware in Spain with Atlético Madrid. Now captain at Newcastle United, his experience and pinpoint deliveries continue to make him a vital figure.
Like Trippier, fellow full-back Kyle Walker has been a mainstay for club and country. After starting out at Sheffield United and excelling with Tottenham, he joined Manchester City in 2017. Under Pep Guardiola, Walker has thrived, winning multiple Premier League titles, domestic cups and the 2023 Champions League, all while remaining one of the fastest and most reliable defenders in Europe.
On the women’s side of the game, Steph Houghton has been a defining presence for more than a decade. Having played for Sunderland, Leeds and Arsenal before joining Manchester City in 2014, she has captained her club to league and cup successes while also leading England on the international stage. Her leadership and resilience have made her one of the most respected figures in women’s football.
Midfielder Jordan Nobbs has also been central to the growth of the women’s game. After beginning at Sunderland, she spent over ten years at Arsenal, where she won league titles and FA Cups while establishing herself as a dynamic playmaker. In 2023, she moved to Aston Villa in search of a new challenge, bringing experience and creativity to their midfield.
