James, 64, is showing off his football skills in a now viral video.
Age can’t stop you from doing what you love. Sixty-four-year-old James is proving it right. A truck driver, he is often photographed playing football like a youth. His videos have also been popular on the internet, with many calling him their inspiration.
Another video of James has gone viral on social media, in which he is seen playing football on his shoulders and head. Pradeep has shared this video on Instagram. He describes himself as a football freestyler.
“I had the privilege of meeting this 64-year-old man, who still plays football. He drives a truck for a living and carries a football kit with him in his lorry. He was part of the Wayanad football team and is the only one who is currently also plays. Games. One thing that I really learned from him is this- do you like to do something? Just do it,” Pradeep said while sharing the short clip.
It starts with a YouTuber showing off his soccer skills, then the football is handed over to James, who picks it up like a pro and soon starts playing with it. The 64-year-old kicks the ball and even balances it on his head, to Pradeep’s surprise.
More than five lakh people have liked the video. Users called James a “legend”.
One user said, “Most uncles are ashamed to express their talent because they think they will judge me.”
“Age is just not one. Brother,” said another with a fire emoji.
James became an internet sensation during the 2018 FIFA World Cup, when videos of his freestyle football kicks became massively popular.
