Former UK "Keepy Uppy" champion Dan Magness is expected to draw the crowds when he performs his unique one-man football show in Hastings on Saturday, September 13.
Dan – who gave himself the nickname the Ginger Freestyler – won his title at the age of 17 after keeping a football up for an astounding 13.5 hours, adding up to more than 110,000 touches.
He has performed hundreds of half-time shows for football clubs including Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City and West Ham and is the regular half-time entertainment for England U21 and England Women's games.
In March 2007, Dan was the first ever entertainer to perform at the new Wembley Stadium as England took on Italy U21s.
He has taught his tricks to famous players such as Arjen Robben, Robbie Keane, Francesco Totti, Roberto Carlos, Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney, Djibril Cisse and Freddie Ljungberg.
Children have two chances to see Dan because he's performing at Kidz Klub, run by King's Church at The Hastings Centre, at 10.30am and then at 2pm opposite McDonald's in Hastings town centre.
The morning event is free for seven to 11-year-olds and there will be a bus service running from Hollington and Ore.
