Our big match! Nicky and Keely Corroll are Tottenham HotSpur's mascots

Published: 28 October, 2010

FOR two young Spurs fans, it was a dream come true. Nicky and Keely Corroll, who are pupils at St Dominic’s school in Gospel Oak, got to don their favourite team’s colours and lead them on to the pitch for Saturday’s Premiers League game against Everton.

The pair were selected to be mascots for the day at White Hart Lane and Nicky, aged five, had the extra special experience of warming up on the pitch before the action started with captain Luka Modric.

The pair had made a special thank-you card to give to winger Gareth Bale, to say well done for his hat-trick heroics in the Champions League against Inter Milan the previous Wednesday – although Keely, seven, admitted her favourite player was on the other flank. She said: “I really like Aaron Lennon.”

And to add to the thrill, the game was televised by Sky – meaning the children’s grandparents, who were in Spain, could watch the youngsters’ proud moment too.
