YOUNG football fans had a day to remember when they met Arsenal's Ashley Cole.
The group of five to 14-year-olds from schools in Kent and Surrey met the England left back at the club's Highbury ground before Arsenal's game against Bolton Wanderers.
After the match the children played their own game at Arsenal's indoor sports hall.
Mr Cole, 25, said: "It was a pleasure to welcome the children to Highbury."
He added: "I hope they enjoyed their day at the stadium and took away happy memories."
The children attend Arsenal's grassroots soccer school during half terms, after school and in the summer holidays.
