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
with Hazard! Not to forget he saw Prince William in the flesh!
