A young football fan scored big by having his 10th birthday party at the home of his favourite team.

Lucky Gunner Daniel Croft, from New Barnet, won a party at Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium for him and 20 friends from a competition run by domestic appliance manufacturer and official Arsenal partner Indesit.

Daniel, who is part of the Arsenal’s Junior Gunner fan club, secured his win by submitting pictures of his large collection of Arsenal memorabilia and a poem about the team.

A 5-a-side tournament was put on for Daniel and his friends to play, then they were taken on a tour around the stadium, giving them a look behind the scenes of their favourite team.

At the end of the day, Daniel was given an official Arsenal team shirt with his favourite player’s name on the back.

Daniel’s father Mark said: “All the kids really enjoyed it, especially Daniel. I’ve received numerous texts from parents saying their kids had told them it was the best party they had ever been to.

“The day is certainly something Daniel will remember and cherish for the rest of his life.”
