Freestyle footballer travels 50 miles across Siberian lake while doing keepie uppies

A freestyle footballer is hoping to add to his collection of world records after travelling 50 miles across a Siberian lake - while doing half a million KEEPIE UPPIES.

John Farnworth defied temperatures of minus 20 as he kept the ball up in the air while crossing the world’s deepest and oldest lake in Russia for two days.

The only time the 34-year-old stopped freestyling during the challenge earlier this month was when he was sleeping or taking food or toilet breaks.

John kept the ball up for 7-8 hours each day as he crossed Lake Baikal.
