Jeremy Lynch is a 20 year old football freestyler from London, currently labelled Best Freestyler in Europe.
Arsenal
At 15 years old, Jeremy played for Arsenal F.C. Academy, but his dreams of playing in the Premier League were short lived as Arsenal soon released him. Jeremy was devastated at the time but was determined to pursue his love of football and so he decided to enter "Britain's Got Talent" in a bid to revive his footballing dreams.
In the Hands of the Gods
Jeremy went on to star in the 2007 documentary In the Hands of the Gods along with four other freestylers, Sami Hall, Paul Wood, Danny Robinson and Mikey Fisher. The film showed their journey from North America to Argentina, to meet their idol Diego Maradona. [http://www.inthehandsofthegods.com/#ithotg/home]
Britain's Got Talent
In 2008 Jeremy auditioned on Britain's Got Talent and 'amazed the judges with his skills', 'turning sport into entertainment' according to judge Amanda Holden, and getting through to the live semi finals. However, after his semi-final performance he was criticised by the judges for dropping the football twice, resulting in Amanda Holden and Piers Morgan voting him off in favour of the singer Andrew Muir.
