Arsenal legend Robert Pires challenges Star Sixes fans…

Former Arsenal winger Robert Pires has challenged football fans around the world to beat his record on the Misson Control challenge.

The Gunners icon, who’s currently promoting the Star Sixes tournament which takes place this summer, juggles the ball clockwise with his thighs, feet and his head.

Pires stopped himself after reaching seven circuits, a number which has symbolised his career.

The Arsenal ambassador is the French captain in the Star Sixes competition at London’s O2 Arena this summer, a tournament which allows us to once again admire the footballers we grew up watching.

It is essentially a competitive six-a-side indoor football competition, where former international players are chosen to represent a senior national team for which they played.

Check out Pires’ attempt in the video above and see if you can do any better.
