Ball juggle wizard John smashes record
A Lancashire football freestyler has smashed a Guinness World Record for rolling a football across his forehead.
John Farnworth, from Longridge, blitzed the previous world record of 188 face rolls by managing 553 at the Ashfield Festival Sports Gala, Nottingham, on Father's Day.
The 23-year-old former St Cecilia's High School pupil trains in excess of 40 hours per week and is now the proud holder of four Guinness World medals.
John – who works regularly with the likes of Manchester United, Nike, Fifa, Samsung and Sony – performs for TV shows, advertising and
promotional campaigns, stage shows and corporate events.
He is regarded as one of the best football freestylers in the world and holds both the World and European Championship titles.
