David Seaman is making a career change as the face of a national ad campaign.

No, we aren't talking about the former England goalkeeper.

This time around it is a Sutton engineer who shares a name with the footballing legend that is being thrust into the spotlight.

Mr Seaman is one of a handful of tradespeople and DIYers starring in the latest Screwfix ad campaign that will air on ITV throughout the world cup.

"It’s fantastic to be involved in the Screwfix ads and be part of such an iconic sporting event," the Sutton man said.

"When I first got the call to ask if I would be interested in taking part I did think it was a joke but, what a great idea.

"It’s been so much fun – I feel like a local celebrity and my friends are really looking forward to seeing me on the small screen over the coming weeks.”

The ad shows him leaning backwards to catch a glove flying through the air, however it goes over his head and lands behind him, in parody of an iconic football moment.
