England v Ghana Player Escort Opportunity

Henry Irving

Dear All,

McDonald’s, The FA’s Community Partner, is offering eight young football fans between the ages of 7 and 11 the chance to escort the England Team onto the pitch as they take on Ghana for the very first time at senior level.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience includes the exclusive opportunity to walk out, hand in hand, with the country’s greatest footballers. The prize also includes a goody bag and tickets for both child and guardian to the match.

We would like to elicit your support in promoting this opportunity to young enthusiasts in your coaching/club set up or host as a news item on your organisation’s website.

The Player Escort page on Your Game provides further details:

Thanking you in advance for your continued support.

I have to admit when I saw the word escort in the title this was not what I was expecting!

When did "mascots" become "player escorts"?

Was it in 1992 but nobody has really noticed until now?

Me too! I thought it was going to be another thread on Wayne Rooney or Ashley Cole.

I suppose it's so someone with a higher intellect can "escort" them onto the pitch, avoiding the possibility of getting lost in the car park or the obvious distraction of air rifles!

I think I'm too young to be an escort for Rooney.
