City academy kid can do 4,000 keepy-uppies

Recommended Posts

Afternoon - thought this might be of interest:

He may only be 10-years-old but young Josh Clancy is already a rising footie star for the future.
The football-mad youngster can do 4,000 keepy-uppies and is on his way to winning a national freestyle competition.
And he could also provide hope of a brighter future for Norwich City fans - as he trains with the club''s Academy.

There''s a video of him on the web too.........

Being able to do keepy uppies does not make you a good player unfortunately. The bloke who holds the record admits that he has hardly ever even played amatuer matches, and just likes doing keepy-uppies.

Theres no point in learning how to do thousands of kick ups if you cant spray a pass 60 yards or head a ball..... put it that way.

Like others have said, when was the last ''keepy-uppy'' player or freestyle champion in a good side? ..yes it looks great when your mucking around with your friends, and obviusly alot of skill is required...

but could you imagine this kid ''keepy-uppying'' his way through on goal, and the only player in his way is neil ruddock....[;)]
