Mark Harrod Ltd were delighted to be approached to supply football goals for the latest advertising campaign for Castrol Edge Oil starring the world’s most expensive football player, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The goals supplied were specially designed to look like socketed premier league goals with free hanging net supports, but were actually freestanding goals fitted with a specially made stabilizing plate to enable them to be easily moved into a number of different positions for filming.

Filming took place in Manchester and South Africa with the adverts being shown all around the world to coincide with Castrol’s sponsorship of the 2010 football world cup.

Managing Director, Mark Harrod said it was very exciting for the company to be involved in a project with such a high profile star and Mark was thrilled to be invited to the set to watch filming take place on location in Manchester.
