A WORLD record has just been broken in the Church of England
marquee at the Suffolk show held in the diocese of St
Edmundsbury & Ipswich. Daniel Magness, a celebrity
freestyle footballer, qualified for a Guinness World Record by
managing 555 consecutive touches of the ball with his
shoulders.
He last broke his own record -also a world first - in July 2011,
when he secured 402 touches. "Dan showed incredible skill and
poise, and the audience were hanging on every shoulder-move," the
Bishop of Huntingdon, Dr David Thomson, said. "Dan is a Christian,
a footballer, and appears on the Sky show," Gavin Stone, the
assistant diocesan secretary said.
Nobody says whether the audience's shoulders ached in
sympathy.
