Walkers crisps became rubbish after they switched to 'SunSeed' oil anyway.

Still, I will miss his happy little orange face on the adverts.

I'm free.

Happy to get paid to eat them on screen (as long as they pay for the health farm I'll need to go to afterwards).

The bottom line is

RICK ASTLEY should be the new face of Walkers

Walkers...Rollers...

You preach to the choir

Rick still has an awesome voice, he did try a comeback a year or 2 ago but I guess RickRolling is the best thing that happened to him Since S.A.W

Rick Rolling aside, Astley really could have marketing potential now...

Sad to see the NICE GUY of football put back on the subs bench

There can be only one contender for this exclusive role, remember folks just say what you see

Northern Irish Funnyman ROY WALKER ! http://www.roywalker.co.uk/images/portrait2.jpg

The funniest and RUDEST video I ever saw IN MY LIFE has great synergistic messages that reach out to the core brand values with these Leicestershire sliced potatoes, plus his name is Walker

My money is on a singer/musical group... thinking along the lines of Girls Aloud, Leonia Lewis or Will Young stylee...

If the football theme is to be continued then maybe the whole Ian Wright and adopted son Shuan (ala Nintendo Wii), don't think Bradley would have a tongue in cheek role as a thief after accusations made against him recently!!

But if sport was to be a theme followed I would put money on Pepsico going for a range of sports men and women as apposed to just one sport to try and show their variety...

Thoughts?

Keeping on a Spurs theme, Gazza?

True - they stuck by him through that though. Guess it's more to do with him looking his age and having very little relivancy to today's youth. He just looks like a rather tired middle-aged grey-haired bloke.

Pepsi have a tradition of taking a moral stand. They pulled ads from Channel 4 when the Shilpa Shetty race row happened. With this in mind, I doubt they would have been pleased when Lineker appeared in tabloid stories alledging extra-marital affairs around the time of his recent messy divorce.

The joke is old this is a good move for Walkers the brand needs a fresh faced spokesman/woman. Besides aren't people bored of Lineker' smug perma-tanned face? The move seems to be recognition that Lineker does not appeal to the core audience for the brand anymore - which is are kids. None of them will have seen him in an England shirt considering his international career finished more than a decade and a half ago.
