Kerala man,64, amazes internet with pro-like football juggling skills

Age is just a number, and James, a 64-year man from Kerala, is proving it true. He is a truck driver who is often seen playing football like a young professional. His videos are extremely popular and many consider him an inspiration.

Recently, one of his videos went viral showing him juggling a football on his head and shoulder. Pradeep, the Instagrammer who shared the video, said he had the chance to meet James who is a truck driver by profession but loves football so much that he carries a kit with him in his lorry. He was in the Wayanad football team and still loves to play the game. Pradeep also said that one thing he learnt from James is that if you love doing something, you should just do it.

In the video, Pradeep is demonstrating his soccer skills in the beginning and then he passes the ball to James who picks it up and then starts to play around with it like a pro. Pradeep was surprised at how this 64-year-old man kicked the ball and balances it on his head.


Internet users are calling James an inspiration and a legend. Most people of his age feel shy in showing their talent for the fear of being judged, but not James. His video has garnered six lakh views. He had become popular during the 2018 FIFA World Cup for the videos of his freestyle kicks.

Kerala is the home of inspiration. Some months ago, the news of a 72-year-old Palakkad woman ziplining in a sari had won hearts of internet users.
