Striker Theo Walcott led an amazed seven-year-old on to the pitch in front of cheering fans before Arsenal clashed with Bayern Munich last week.

Ryan Grant, from Epsom who attends Southfield Park Primary School in Long Grove Road, was blown-away by his experience as a mascot at the Emirates Stadium.

But the excitement does not end there because yesterday his father Mark got another call inviting him to be a mascot at the Manchester United and Real Madrid game at Old Trafford next week.

Mr Grant said: "He is a Manchester United fan so he is going to be absolutely beside himself."

Speaking about his experience with Arsenal, Ryan said: "I was very nervous before the match and was waiting in the tunnel with all the mascots and players when Theo Walcott grabbed my hand.

"He said hello and off we went out onto the pitch, it was amazing."

Ryan, stayed to watch the rest of the match which Arsenal lost 3-1.

He won both places as a mascot in the Mastercard’s Priceless Mascot competition and cannot wait to show his mascot kit to fellow players in the Epsom and Ewell Colts under 8s.
