We are tired just reading about this match—imagine playing in it.

Thirty-six brave souls in Southampton decided to play nonstop football for 102 hours for charity and have now earned themselves a place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The players from Testlands Support Project started their 11-a-side match Sunday evening at Southampton's St Mary's Stadium and only finished in the early hours of Friday morning once they had broken the previous record by an hour.
