But Mr Woo and Abdullah started before him nad other juggling artist for sure also.... but the man who started to make it popular and known was Sofiane Touzani

You dont really know because there was no  videoing back then, so for all we know it might of been in the 1800s , its like asking who was the first person to have a wank

Its difficult to tell who was really the one who was the first freestyler .. But Maradona is the first to motivate people to do tricks with the ball :biggrin: Then Touzani invented new thing and the rest of the story i think you know... :rockit:

circus performers don't count as freestylers.  those have been around for literally HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of years.  plus, there's a reason why we call this FOOTBALL freestyle.  yes there are some similar, even same tricks.  but the two are separate in my eyes.

the first person to do half time shows and really showcase football tricks to the world as something more than just juggling practice... was maradona.  but again, he was a footballer and not a freestyler.  i don't even think he used the term freestyle ever.

the first person to take it to the next level and actually make freestyle what it is today, was Mr. Woo.  he was the first.

because what he does, although very similar on certain occasions.... is NOT FOOTBALL.  yes, some tricks are the same or similar.  but he is a circus performer, not a FOOTBALL freestyler.  they never even used the word "freestyle".  he is a CIRCUS JUGGLER.  and the moves that appear similar to football freestyle upper moves is called "touch juggling".

francis brunn is a juggler
jugglers are not football freestylers
therefore francis brunn was not a freestyler

if u guys wanna count jugglers as freestylers, which they're not..... then francis brunn was STILL not the first.  let's consider enrico rastelli was before him.  and before HIM.... COUNTLESS OTHERS FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.

the first person to juggle a ball did so thousands and thousands of years ago... if ur familiar with the history of juggling.  and no1 will kno who was the first to do that or when exactly it was they started doing that.

atw i suspect is a lot newer, but still has been around for at least a few hundred years i presume.
