Lucky Oliver Flecknell won the chance to walk out at Wembley Stadium with the England football team when they faced the Republic of Ireland for the first time since 1995 on Wednesday, May 29.
It was a fantastic day out for Oliver, aged nine, from Wing, who as a McDonald’s Player Escort walked out with Gary Cahill ahead of their match with an up-and-coming Irish side.
Oliver, who won the player escort place in a competition to see the Three Lions draw 1-1 with Ireland, said “I couldn’t wait to walk out onto the pitch with the England players. It was brilliant to be at Wembley and to see England play live.”
