Previously with Everton and Bolton youth, JR is not the only one Tim has impressed. He was featured on TV during a Pepsi Cola campaign called the Pepsi World Challenge, representing the UK. As part of this, he has ball-juggled with Ronaldhino, and passed with Beckham. His ball skills are excellent, and he is the runner up in the Nike Skills Championship (at ball juggling), and in the summer of 2006, represented his country in Germany - at six a side, under the management of Jamie Redknapp.
