Thirsk boy wins football coaching session
A FOOTBALL-MAD boy has won a coaching session in his back garden with a world-record holding football tricks expert.
Max Lawson, ten, overcame competition from hundreds of others to win a one-on-one masterclass with Dan Magness, who set a world record in 2010 by keeping a football airborne for 26 hours, juggling the ball more than 350,000 times using only his feet, knees and head.
Max, of Carlton Miniott, Thirsk impressed judges with a video of his footballing skills.
He also won four FA Cup Final tickets, and American-style fridge freezer and a washing machine in a nationwide contest run by electrical firm Beko.
