David Beckham is the star of the new Sky Sports advert ahead of the Premier League season - and we went behind the scenes on the shoot...
The former Manchester United and England midfielder leads the campaign ahead of Sky Sports' biggest ever Premier League season, with 126 live matches in total, including for the first time, Friday Night Football.
The shoot for the ad took place over three days in London, and involved 500 extras as well as snow machines and a fire engine to create a season's worth of weather in 60 seconds.
A special rollerblading camera operator was also needed to film Beckham on the run.
Sky Sports will be showing four live Premier League matches across the first weekend of the season, with defending champions Leicester City kicking things off when they travel to newly promoted Hull City on August 13.
Looking back on Leicester's remarkable title triumph, Beckham said: "This past season has been full of surprises and it proves anything is possible.
"To see Leicester be champions and to see the excitement around the city and how they achieved it, it was without doubt the standout moment for me."
As part of Sky Sports' opening schedule of 20 televised fixtures, every Premier League club will be shown by the end of September.
The opening weekend also offers Sky Sports viewers coverage of Jose Mourinho's first game in charge of Manchester United at Bournemouth, Arsenal v Liverpool in the first big head-to-head of the season, plus Antonio Conte's Chelsea at home to West Ham United.
