SVEN Goran Eriksson look-a-like Colin Lyne is preparing for an on-screen sporting double this week.
The Leigh Journal photographer, who has already appeared on Channel Four's Big Breakfast, will start filming a promotional film for Sky Sports on Thursday.
And on Sunday, he will take part in a show hosted by presenter Des O'Connor called 'Stars and Their Double' which is expected to be shown later this year.
Colin's likeness to the current England football manager was instantly spotted by his colleagues on the Leigh Journal.
Since he was featured in the paper, he has signed up to a look-a-like agency to capitalise on his uncanny likeness to England's Swedish supremo.
He said: "Things were quiet for bit but with the England versus Germany match in October, the phone's been ringing a lot more.
"I've been watching dozens of videos of Sven to try and match his accent and mannerisms. I think I'm getting there but I still don't know the first thing about football."
