W2S FACTS
Quick-reference trivia about W2S — birth, channel milestones, the Sidemen badge, the FIFA Ultimate Team era, and the numbers most people get wrong.
Date of birth
November 24, 1996. As of 2026, he is 29 years old.
Hometown
Sussex, England, United Kingdom — his content base is in the UK, alongside the rest of the Sidemen.
Nationality
British. He has been UK-based for the duration of the W2S / Wroetoshaw channel.
Primary platform
YouTube. The W2S and Wroetoshaw channels are FIFA-content cornerstones, with the Sidemen / SidemenReacts channels carrying the bulk of his current uploads.
Secondary platforms
Twitch occasionally; TikTok and Instagram distribute clipped Sidemen Sunday moments. The home base is the YouTube long-form upload.
Sidemen member
One of the seven founding Sidemen, alongside KSI, Miniminter (Simon), Vikkstar123 (Vik), Behzinga (Ethan), TBJZL (Tobi), and Zerkaa (Josh).
When he broke out
The Wroetoshaw channel went mainstream in 2014–2015 on the back of FIFA pack openings. The "Greatest FIFA Pack Opening Of All Time" (January 2015) is the most-watched FIFA video on YouTube and holds a Guinness World Record.
Signature game
FIFA — specifically FIFA Ultimate Team. Pack openings, Weekend League runs, and FUT Draft videos powered the early channel growth.
Signature shout
"AHHH!" — his high-pitched, drawn-out reaction shout, especially during FIFA pack walkouts. It's the single most-imitated reaction sound in FIFA YouTube history.
The "I'M HARRY!" bit
A long-running self-introduction gag — Harry announces himself as "Harry" in absurdly-timed moments. It became a Sidemen-Sunday recurring beat.
Guinness World Record
His "GREATEST FIFA PACK OPENING OF ALL TIME" (FIFA 15, January 2015) holds the Guinness World Record for the most-watched FIFA videogame video — at 40M+ views as of 2023.
Sidemen Sunday role
One of the most-clipped Sidemen across Sidemen Sunday uploads — Tinder IRL, Hide & Seek at W2S House, First To Find W2S. Deadpan one-liners and chaotic moments are his lane.
Sidemen Charity Match
Plays in the Sidemen Charity Match each year — the Sidemen-organised match (founded 2016) that has raised millions for British charities at venues including Wembley and London Stadium.
Favourite club
Arsenal. He supports Arsenal in the Premier League and references the club regularly in his FIFA and Sidemen content.
Main-channel hiatus
The W2S main channel slowed uploads from 2020 onwards. Harry's audience-facing presence runs primarily through Sidemen / SidemenReacts and the W2S+ secondary channel.
Estimated net worth (2026)
Public estimates place him in the $20M–$25M range, driven by Sidemen-group revenue, his own catalog, and Sidemen Clothing equity. See our breakdown.
How the money is made
Sidemen group ventures (Sidemen Clothing, XIX Vodka, Sides, Best Holidays) make up the bulk; legacy W2S YouTube AdSense and Sidemen / SidemenReacts AdSense add a stable income layer.
What you'll see on screen
Sidemen Sunday group-challenge uploads, occasional FIFA reaction streams, Sidemen Charity Match content, and the rare main-channel pack opening.
Fan-base loose name
No official name — fans go by "Sidemen Army" group-wide and informally "W2S fans" or "Wroetoshaw fans" for his solo audience. Most clip channels use the "W2S" tag.
