The day I was a Chelsea mascot

The day I was a Chelsea mascot

On Saturday 5 March, Chelsea Football club's 'Game for Equality' took place, celebrating the diversity and inclusion work of the club. It was also the day a dream came true for one young supporter. Six year old Alice led her football heroes onto the pitch at Stamford Bridge, dressed head to toe in Chelsea (and Plan International!) blue, ahead of the match against Stoke City. With all the excitement, Alice still had time to write a blogpost:

My name is Alice, I live in London and I am a huge Chelsea fan. I like Chelsea because my Daddy has supported them since he was nine and my big brother Max supports Chelsea. My favourite players are Willian, John Terry and Diego Costa. When I heard I was going to be a mascot for Chelsea and Plan International UK I was scared but more excited. I'm so glad I said yes, because I had a brilliant day.

I was given the full Chelsea kit to wear. It was very comfortable and I think I looked pretty cool. The day was fun, but very busy. The lady who showed us around the football club kept saying "keep up, keep up, is everybody here, is everybody here?" We went to the dressing room and had our photos taken with the players...there was loud music playing! I met all the players, even Willian, who was having a massage. He smiled a lot. I had my photos taken with John Terry, Willian, Diego Costa, Cesc Fabregas and Loic Remy. After the photos, we waited in the tunnel for the players.
