He may never have played professionally, but Dutchman Leon Walraven recently showed the sort of skills that would have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi looking on with envy as he set three incredible football freestyle Guinness World Records title.
Lying in an uncomfortable position on his back, Leon successfully scored the Most touches of a football with the soles in one minute with an incredible 270 touches, at the Racketcentrum Ramele, in Raalte, Overijssel, Netherlands.
The 27-year-old then went on to smash the record for the Most football touches with the shoulders in one minute (male), racking up a total of 214 at the Sporthal Heeten in Heeten, Netherlands.
In a potentially quite painful record attempt, the freestyle soccer star then achieved the Most football touches with the shin in one minute with a whopping 224, raising the previous total by a staggering 45 hits.
A standard size 5, FIFA-approved football was used for each trick and the ball was not allowed to touch the floor for the duration of each attempt.
In his application for the record, Leon told us: “I decided to break the records because I want to achieve something special.”
