A young Chelsea fan from Watford got a chance to have a special training session with coaches from the Premier League team after winning a competition.
Paul Field, 11, from Hartford Drive, also got a special tour of Stamford Bridge, which he attended with his mum Rita, brother Matthew and nine other friends.
At the stadium he was able to walk in the footsteps of his heroes down the tunnel at Stamford Bridge and spend some time in the manager’s dugout.
Following the day Paul said: “I really enjoyed the day. I loved the tour at the stadium but the training session was my favourite part.
“I am so pleased that I won the competition for me and my friends. I’ll never forget it, it was the best day.”
The youngster won the day as part of a competition held by Chelsea’s shirt sponsor Samsung.
