.... and if you’re wondering what jugglers and football have in common, read the story behind the photo:

No other sport in the world attracts as much attention as football these days. All over the planet, it’s a subject of conversation that cuts across social boundaries. You might hear people say of the top players: “What he can do with the ball is as amazing as Rastelli”.

Enrico Rastelli is regarded as the greatest juggler of the 20th century. He first performed in Germany in 1925, at the Schumann Theater in Frankfurt. In 1930 he created an act in which his costume was a football shirt and shorts. For the climax of the show, he invited real footballers to come on stage. He would then juggle the football around them and finally – to boundless applause – head the ball into the goal.

His name is synonymous with artistic skill and phenomenal ball handling. He was, and will always remain, an inspiration to performers and footballers alike.
