Keepy uppies uproar

-

A FAN has revealed how he was “set upon” by security guards after trying to do keepy uppies at all eight World Cup stadiums.

Alan Macdonald, 39, wanted to make “entertaini­ng” footage at the arenas on Qatar’s east coast to distract people from the “doom and gloom”.

The YouTuber said: “I’m overweight and cr*p at football, so I thought it would be a good laugh to do a challenge at each stadium.

“But it turned out the main challenge was staying near the stadium due to the security being so tight.

“At the Al Bayt Stadium I got my camera out and off I went and instantly four security guards came at me from all angles.

“Then I went to the next stadium and encountere­d the exact same thing.”

But Alan, of Huddersfie­ld, West Yorks, carried on and completed all eight.

He added: “It was prohibited, but having encountere­d such difficulti­es in the first three or four, I was going to do all of them or none of them.”
