History
The channel's creator, Dean Stobbart, originally a teacher from Norton, County Durham, had in the past been a part-time voice actor who also did some animation for his lessons.[4][5] He said he saw a gap in the market that "no one had really done football cartoons before", so he made his first animated video, a parody of Uruguayan footballer Luis Suárez and then-Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger in a cartoon parody of a scene from The Silence of the Lambs in August 2013.[4] Since then, he has worked with organisations such as Talksport[6][7] and Sky Sports on animations. His videos have also been featured on Metro and the Spanish Marca.[8] He also has a Facebook account with 1.8 million followers, a TikTok account with 774.6 thousand followers and a Twitter account with 149.6 thousand followers.
Although Stobbart had originally created his videos by himself, he hired three animators, Sam Dunscombe, Mike Myler and James Williams.[citation needed] In 442oons' 3-million-subscribers video in July 2020, Sam confirmed his departure from the channel. Currently with 4 animators, Lauren Bagstaff and Karl Hargreaves are the additional two animators with Myler and Williams.[citation needed]
He also has been in partnership with the Bundesliga YouTube channel (English), OneFootball, The Football Republic (most notably the fictional tabloid talk show: 'The Roy Keane Show'), FREEbets and other YouTube channels.[citation needed]
