A LUCKY young Crayford football fan lived the dream when he walked out at Wembley recently.

Cameron Crowhurst, from Maiden Lane, won the chance to be a player escort for the England team when they took on San Marino in a World Cup qualifier.

The 10-year-old Arsenal fan led Gunners winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain on to the pitch ahead of the game and proved a real good luck charm.

The Three Lions ran out 5-0 winners on October 12 with Oxlade-Chamberlain bagging a goal to go with doubles from Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck.

Cameron, who goes to Mayplace Primary School in Bexleyheath, said: "I couldn’t wait to walk out on to the pitch with my football heroes.

"It was brilliant to be at Wembley with the players."

The youngster won his place after entering a national competition via McDonald’s website Kickstart.

McDonald’s Director of Football and World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst said: "It is a great experience to walk out on the pitch at Wembley Stadium.

"The noise of a full Wembley and the atmosphere is something that Cameron will never forget."
