Imagine being in an advertising agency, devising a campaign for Walkers Crisps entry into the Irish market at the turn of the millennium.

Your star man is Gary Lineker, a local boy from Leicester and one of England's greatest strikers, but you need someone else, someone that will pique the interest of your prospective audience.

Then you have a brain wave.

It's a romp, watch the full thing below!
