Swansea City star Leon Britton's previous life as a child TV star has been revealed. The midfield maestro, who enjoyed an outstanding debut season in the Premier League last year, starred as a young Ryan Giggs in this memorable 90s road safety advert The advert, set in Manchester in 1983, sees Britton kicking a tin can down the street as he pretends to be Giggs in his red Manchester United shirt. Legendary commentator Brian Moore provides the words before the young Swans star âStops, Looks and Listensâ to cross the road safely. As a car hurtles past, Moore declares: âHe looks around for spaceâ thatâs a wonderful cross; heâs got a great future ahead of him.ââ Few would have predicted how bright that future was to become on the football field, although the TV career ended after one more bit-part role in a Walkers crisps advert with Gary Lineker. Still, the £750 Britton was paid for his two-minutes of fame was a pretty decent pay day for an 11-year-old! http://youtu.be/3qEwlAeU9ls
