Could you do keepy-uppy when you were a kid?

[Mugshot]

I was terrible at them, could maybe do 3 regularly or 5 on a good day, always used to end up chasing the ball round and round. Last time I remember trying to do them was when my son was a lad so a few years ago now, my slipper went over next doors garden Never wear slippers when attempting keepy uppy.

Terrible, my record was only 5 IIRC and usually the ball was away after 2. Daft game

10 minutes? Good effort!

I could do it forever back in the day but I struggle to show off my silky skills to the grandchildren these days. I use my bulk to shoulder the 18 month old off the ball, but the 2 year old is more of an even match.

We didn't do that in the 50s

Did you used to sew your own footballs back then ?

To my fellow crap footballers, try it with a balloon to feel awesome.

Could I play keepy uppy as a kid? Yep..........with a hockey stick and hockey ball, edge of a tennis racket and a tennis ball, one handed with a cricket bat and ball, on the face and the edge, but with a football? Uh uhh.........no way.

[QUOTE 3096787, member: 9609"]Yeh right, 10 minutes more like 10 out of control touches with the last one being a stretch too far - hope I haven't done myself some damage, still limping and I'm supposed to be going up into the hills for a walk tonight[/QUOTE]


Just hop....

I was always the last to get picked in team games so spent A LOT of time learning to do keepy-uppies in football and being able to spin the ball on my finger for basketball...I'd just stand at the side doing keepy-uppies/spinning the ball on my finger and get picked rather sharpish, only to humiliate myself when the games actually started!

Didn't even know what that was until I read the posts. I doubt I ever could but I used to be able to ride a bike "no handed".

 

[BrynCP]

Used to be able to do 100s at a time. I never played football though.

I had an allergy to wendyball, even had a doctor's note to say so (forged by my mate Phil)

 

[Yellow Fang]

Could do about three. Always something I envied other boys, like being able to do wheelies or stand up on a skateboard.
