BUDDING Beckhams went football crazy as world-famous freestyler Dan Magness showed off his scintillating soccer skills in Frinton.
Record breaker Dan wowed youngsters at Tendring Technology College with his dazzling footwork and ball control.
He holds the world record for keeping a ball up in the air for an astonishing 26 hours and once completed a 36-mile cross-London keepie-uppie.
Frinton Free Church youth minister Mark Massey organised Tuesday’s visit - hot on the heels of a Wembley appearance the night before.
“It was brilliant,” said Mark.

“We want our young people to live life to the full and experience lots of good stuff, and one way is to introduce them to talented people who are good at what they do.
“I’ve worked with Dan in the past and was really pleased he was able to spend the day with us and show these incredible skills and help the pupils' freestyle skills.
“It’s been great watching him. He’s got a freestyle football show on Sky so a lot had seen him on TV.”
