FOOTBALL mad youngsters were given the chance to play on Arsenal’s pitch and meet some of the club’s most celebrated players.
Pupils from Woodbridge High School in St Barnabas Road, Woodford Green, were taking part in an inter-schools tournament at the Emirates Stadium in north London on May 16.
The team made the quarter-finals and got the chance to pick up some tips from Arsenal legends who kept a close eye on proceedings.
Woodbridge High teacher Graham Samuels, said: “It was a fantastic experience for the students.
“They got to meet footballing heroes Martin Keown and Ray Parlour as well as play on the hallowed turf of the Emirates.”
