A FOOTBALL juggler will be attempting a new world record in Chelmsford.

Sky TV host Dan Magness will be attempting to control a ball on his back for more than four minutes, as part of a roadshow for lawn care company GreenThumb, at the High Chelmer Shopping Centre.

The longest attempt so far is four minutes – but the freestyler is aiming to crack that on August 16.

He will also be performing his freestyle tricks at the centre on Tuesday and Thursday next week.

Dan, who presents the show Football Freestyler on Sky, said: “I practise two or three hours a day – the great thing about this sport is that you can do it anywhere, even the living room, if you’re good!”
