The boy was shocked to be told that he will be lining up alongside captain John Terry when the team walks out onto the Wembley pitch:

Verdict:

It’s what football is all about really. You can see in the video how the news hasn’t quite sunk in yet. It is a dream for all fans to line up alongside their heroes, and he will now get that very rare privilege.

Hopefully, the day will end on a happy note as well with us securing promotion back to the Premier League. Fulham will be difficult opponents but the experience we have in the team gives me a lot of confidence that we can get the win this weekend.
