Fiat Professional Tradesman Trials
Fiat Professional has launched the Fiat Professional Tradesman Trials, a nationwide search to find a current tradesman who has the talent to play football professionally, with the winner receiving a one month pre-season trial at a Football League club and the chance of earning a full-time contract.
Former tradesmen turned professional footballers, Stuart Pearce (electrician), Dean Windass (hod carrier) & Geoff Horsfield (builder) kick started the campaign by taking part in a series of Tradesman challenges to see if they have still got their old tradesman skills.
The challenges included plastering, painting and wallpapering, re-wiring a plug and building a brick wall. Ex-referee Dermot Gallagher was on hand to keep everyone in check throughout, while comedian Ian Smith provided commentary on the player’s efforts.
