Great day all round and even better for my 8yr old. His other Grandma and Grandad sponsored the match ball so they were in the stadium from about 11. He had his photo and birthday wishes up on the screen, much to his embarrassment. We all met up pitchside before the game and my oldest son gave him a present and birthday card. At halftime he opened up the card and there was a £10 note in. He had met Micky Horswill before the game but Jimmy Montgomery had been around him quite a bit, so he went up to Monty and said he would like to give him the £10 for being nice to him.
After taking the £10 (joking), Montgomery asked him if he would like to go with him and promptly took him down to the tunnel and met O9, his favourite player.
He was then given a ball with all the players signatures on, which wrapped the day perfectly, apart from having a takeaway tonight at our house when they got back.
Thank you Monty
