Hong Kong Phootey - as Dan smashes his own record

Ace Top Dog Freestyler and football tricks workshop leader Dan Magness has just this moment extended his own Guinness World Record for the longest time controlling a football, by a whole two hours. It is a testament to Dan's superlative skills that his previous pinnacle of keepie-uppy skill, set in London's Covent Garden in May 2009, stayed intact for over a year. At a star-studded event in Hong Kong's prestigious OlympianCity mall, the ginger freestyler from Milton Keynes kept a regulation football aloft using only his feet, legs, shoulders and head for an epic 26 hours - that's about 270,000 touches.

Fifth Guinness World Record for Top Dog's football tricks tutor

Top Dog Workshops football tricks tutor Dan Magness has just broken his fifth Guinness World Record. Adding to his previous accolades in the world of keepy-uppy and football freestyle, Dan now holds the record for the longest journey controlling a football, in an amazing feat of skill and endurance across the streets of the capital.

Dan established the longest ever recorded journey while continuously kicking or heading a ball, keeping the ball in the air for a staggering 36 miles, as he visited every Premier League football club in London. His journey began at 8am at Fulham's Craven Cottage, and ended fourteen hours later at Spurs' White Hart Lane at 10pm.
