    Liverpool keepie-uppie star Richard Braithwaite takes his work in his stride - producing an amazing, seamless fusion of creativity, dexterity, flexibility and co-ordination.

    This Freestyle Footballer is known as "Mr Silky Skills".

    But underlying the showmanship there's a serious anti-racism message... It doesn't matter what colour you are if you want to be good at something.

    Richard has just been named Merseyside's Black Sports Achiever of the Year.

    Alongside the current World and European champion - 23-year-old John Farnworth from Preston - the team has been demonstrating their skills in the Liverpool One shopping complex.
