  • Don't Give Up: After three years of failing to break the Guinness World Record for the Most Dribbles in One Minute, Wham Middleton finally succeeded. On his face, you could see his concentration and determination. Wham is now a nine-time Guinness World Record holder, and he hopes to set more.

      After his game of hoops with a friend of his mum's he got a trial with the Harlem Globetrotters and now has 9 world records. Kind of how I became a doctor, my friend had a sore throat so I made him some lemon juice to soothe his sore throat then he said I should sit the medical boards exam, 2 days later I was doing heart surgery in Boston. Hustle culture, work hard, achieve your dreams!

I think we still have all the memorabilia like the coffee mugs and ashtrays all kinds of stuff.
