So this weekend saw the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Chelsea.
As most of my followers know I like to enter competitions, I thought I would share my WINNING experience with you all. With all of my family being big Chelsea fans I was excited when I came across a competition on the Lucky Learners Facebook group, run by Di Coke , who's son was the lucky winner of the first round.
But this competition wasn't for me, it was for my grandson Jack.
Jack had to make a video of himself giving his team 'Chelsea' a team talk on how to win the FA Cup!

The competition was run by Emirates.
It was for the chance to be a mascot for your team!
So we set about doing a video.
Jack did an excellent one we filmed it in just one take .

I managed to enter it a day before the 2nd draw
Here is Jack's entry
Imagine our delight when a week later we received a message on Instagram to say that he had won!
Jack was at school when I found out so I had to to wait all day to tell him. As I had time on my hands I made a sign stuck it on the window and let him see it for himself .
Here is his reaction, it was priceless.
On Saturday 27th May 2017 after a nights stay in a four star hotel, Jack watched the players warm up before the match. After a ride on the Chelsea tour bus, Jack walked out on the pitch along side his favourite player Hazard.
What a dream come true!
Jack was on the pitch with 4 other Lucky Learner's children who were all lucky enough to win this once in a lifetime experience!
All of the kids did exceptionally well and I am sure it will be a day they will all be talking about for years to come.

OK I have to say it, Chelsea lost but we can over look that this time
it was worth it to see the grin on Jacks face walking out the tunnel
