Meet Phu Pha, the tortoise that loves playing football

This ten-year-old tortoise loves playing football and can even head the ball by ramming it with his shell.

Phu Pha - whose favourite team is Manchester City - was rescued several years ago after being found with an injured foot in the jungle in Phrae, northern Thailand.

He recovered and started joining in when children were kicking around a ball, and was soon chasing after it.

But the tortoise's favourite trick is recoiling into his hard shell, rocking back on his legs, then lunging forward to propel the football forward with a diving header.

Watch him in action in the video above.
