Former Nottingham Forest teammates raise a laugh with mischievous antics

Ben Osborn has challenged former Nottingham Forest teammate Joe Lolley to a new version of the stay at home challenge inspired by The Office with mixed results.

A host of footballers have been showing off their keepy uppy skills with toilet roll as the nation comes to a standstill due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Sheffield United midielder Osborn has created a new twist, by throwing a 'coffee thing' over a house, rather than risking his kettle.

The video references a scene from the acclaimed BBC sitcom starring Ricky Gervais.

When Chris Finch lashes out after losing a pub quiz, he lists '50 things' he could win at - including 'throwing.'

Finch [Ralph Ineson] then explains the time he was challenged to throw a copper kettle over a pub roof in Chichester.

"I go outside, take off my tie, tie it to the handle and wheeeew."

Only a throwing challenge will put Finch back on top after his loss, so he steals a colleague's shoe and launches it over the pub.

Osborn proved to be successful and challenged Lolley to match his effort.

His good friend's reply falls short though as Lolley's first attempt at throwing a saucepan lands on a neighbour's roof. At least it missed a nearby window.
