A Wandsworth school boy was given the opportunity of a lifetime, after he won a competition on the McDonald’s website.

Luis Calaza, 11, was able to experience an unforgettable moment when he walked out at Wembley in front of 72,000 fans as a player mascot before the 2018 FA Community Shield.

He walked out alongside Chelsea and Spain winger Pedro at an annual curtain raiser ahead of the 2018/19 Premier League season.

Luis, who walked out at Wembley on Sunday, August 8, said: “I loved walking out on the Wembley pitch, it was exciting looking at the crowd and seeing them all cheering. I don’t think I’ll ever stop talking about it, it was an amazing dream come true.”

Sir Geoff Hurst, McDonald’s ambassador, said: “Having the chance of walking out in front of 72,000 fans at Wembley is an incredible experience that will never get old. The feeling you get and the reaction from the crowd isn’t something you easily forget.

“I have no doubt that Luis had a great day and I’m glad football has the ability to bring such a memorable moment to the lives of many promising young players.”

Manchester City lifted the trophy after a comfortable 2-0 win, with a brace from Argentine strike Sergio Aguero.
