WORLD RECORD VICTORY FOR STOCKPORT SALES MANAGER

36 MEN, TWO TEAMS, 72 HOURS AND ONE WORLD RECORD FOR GREATER MANCHESTER!

Stockport Sales Manager Nick Rose is celebrating after he and his team mates smashed the
Guinness World Record for the longest continuous game of 11-a-side football over the bank holiday weekend.

              Victory for the ‘Manchester Rovers’ white team

The marathon match finished with a score of 603 to ‘the reds’ Stockport Albion and 462 to ‘the whites’ Manchester Rovers – with blister numbers keeping step with the goal tally.

Nick, Sales Manager of headline sponsors Midshire Business Systems, and his co-players played for a full 3 days – 72 hours beating the previous record by 10 hours and smashing their target in raising over £25,000 for Francis House Children’s Hospice.

        The reds – world record holders                                                 F72 Football scrum!

The match has yet to be verified by the Guiness World Record team but Nick is confident that they will be declared world record holders and are already a team of world class heroes.

“We’ve achieved something much bigger than just a game of football in the last three days; we’ve all  had probably just two hours sleep in the last three nights but what a feeling now.”

Nick’s opposing team was captained by Paul Logan, and between them both teams scored 1065 goals with Nick’s winning 603-462. 

But Logan had no complaints at the final whistle and could not quite believe what both teams had achieved.
