Chris Samba proved to be a class act when he helped a local school launch a new table tennis club.
The giant defender, who knows all about finding the net on a football field, had few problems with getting the ball over it, as he took on the school's most skilful students.

Speaking about his hidden talent, Chris said: "I've been playing table-tennis since I was about seven or eight years old.
"We've got a table down at the training ground and one at my house too.
David Dunn and Nick Blackman are probably my closest competitors down at Brockhall, but I'm definitely the best!
"I really enjoyed taking on the kids from the school and they looked to be having a great time too."
After table tennis, Chris turned his attentions to a judo display, which had been organised in conjunction with the Premier League 4 Sport project.
Premier League 4 Sport, which was launched at Ewood Park last October, aims increase participation in table tennis, judo, badminton and volleyball ahead of the 2012 Olympics.
Places for Players is part of Creating Chances, the umbrella brand for all of the good cause work that the Premier League delivers in communities both in the UK and across the world.
