Sting helps design amazing indestructible ball so football never stops for disadvantaged children

An American inventor (with a little help from singer Sting) has produced a new football for disadvantaged children  that is virtually indestructible.

Tim Jahnigen came up with the idea for the One World ball after seeing kids in Africa roll up piles of rubbish to play games.

It can be run over, kicked against barbed wire and even stabbed with a knife (!) and it springs back into perfect shape, ready to be played with again.

It is designed to suit the harsh terrain in far flung countries all over the world, and means football never has to end.

A child can play to their hearts content where there are no content hearts, Jahnigen said of his design.

We dont understand that having a ball is like the best PlayStation or a rocket to Mars.

Amen.
