John Farnworth, who is based at Myerscough College, is current World Football Freestyle Champion - performing tricks with a football whilst keeping it in the air.
And he is in the newly-published Guinness World Records book for performing 83 'Around the Worlds' - passing the foot completely around the ball without letting it touch the ground - in one minute.
Now keepy-uppy king John, 22, whose family are all Blackburn Rovers fans, has worked with Mitre, one of the most experienced and technologically advanced manufacturers of footballs in the world, to design a ball which will help other freestylers emulate his tricks.
He said: "I have designed this ball alongside top ball technicians to make it the ultimate football freestyle ball. If anyone wants to take up football freestyle, this is the perfect ball to use.
"I have grown up using whatever ball I can get my hands on for my training and shows, but being able to design a ball specifically for freestyle is so exciting."
The ball has been designed to give extra grip for ultimate control, with bespoke layers of materials which makes the ball react in exactly the way a freestyler needs, so beginners to professional freestylers will benefit from using this ball.
John, who has performed and judged this year in Dubai, Spain, Switzerland, France, Thailand, Denmark, Holland, Germany, Turkey and China is keen to use his position as a role model to inspire youngsters to follow his lead and achieve their goals in life through commitment and endeavour.
John, a former pupil at St Cecilia's High School, Longridge, showed great promise as a footballer when he was a boy and played for Preston Town and Preston College as well as being on the books at Preston North End as a youngster.
But because he was quite small for his age he was often overlooked and made a substitute for the teams, despite coaches recognising that he was the most skilful player.
He was inspired to turn to freestyle after reading a book called 'Learn to Play the Brazilian Way' by coach Simon Clifford, who had set up a Brazilian-style football school in Leeds.
This Brazilian method uses a size-two weighted ball which aids skilful play, something that John enjoyed and developed greatly from.
In 2004 John met with world-renowned football performer Mr Woo, who noticed his abilities with a ball and invited him down to a competition in London.
John won and this subsequently catapulted him to the forefront of football freestyling, both in the UK and abroad.
Since then he has performed professionally around the world and, in December 2006, he was crowned the World Freestyle Champion in Amsterdam.
The John Farnworth Freestyle Football costs £24.99 with a DVD featuring a day in the life of John, step by step trick guides as well as exclusive, never before seen, footage of John in action performing his world freestyle championship winning show.
