A few weeks ago, I was surprised and delighted to receive an email from the club saying that my youngest son had been selected to be a mascot for the Fulham game. Naturally he was very excited, and not to say a little nervous at the thought of leading the team out in front of 30000 odd people.
The team looking after the mascots were absolutely great ambassadors for the club, kind and helpful with the kids, and informative and reassuring to the parents.
Luke loved every minute of the experience, looking sharp in new kit, he trained at the side of the pitch, joked with Ritchie Reynolds and had his hair badly messed up by Gully. He walked out proudly to Sussex by the sea with Dale Stephens who incidentally produced an outstanding performance.
We enjoyed our complimentary snacks and drinks at half time although the footballing feast the players served up was more than enough to sate our appetite!
The only slight downer, for me, was our close proximity to the Fulham bench, which meant I had to be a little more reserved than usual. Luke remarked that it was the quietest he'd ever heard me at a football match.
The evening was perfect for me and for my son. I congratulate the club for their organisation and their choice of staff. The fact that Luke's big day was enhanced by the brilliant performance of the team made things even more special, oh, and the fact that the great Inigo Calderon winked at me TWICE! I genuinely love this club, thanks so much to Brighton and Hove Albion for giving our family some really special memories!
