In Norway there was a tv show about learning nerds to play football. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viFPv79TBRo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eezfZVkYFdw
There was a similar thing in Sweden too FC Z. There were trained by Glenn Hysén. I quite enjoyed it, at least compared to the other Swedish shows (there's only so much celebrity karaoke a man can take). Just had a look at Wikipedia and apparently the idea started in Denmark.
