Tommy Baker

Tommy features in the 2003, 2004 & 2006 editions of the Guinness World Records book.

His world record is for spinning a football on his forehead for the longest time. Tommy set the record at 9.5 seconds on the Guinness World Record television show in Finland in 2002. He later broke that record on the Swedish Guinness World Record TV show with 11.9 seconds that same year. In 2004 he was able to edge his new record to 12.9 seconds at the Gateshead Metro Centre, UK. Tommy’s final attempt at his record was to be the main feature at the Bravo TV Football Italia opening evening at Grosvenor Place, London in 2005. His final was 15.19 seconds. The record has subsequently been broken by 2 other people, but Tommy’s record remains in the 2003, 2004 & 2006 editions of the book.
