>> PERCHARD: We’ve got schools here from Skegness, and Cumbria and
Wales, and various other parts of the country. I want to engage those schools that are a bit further away from professional clubs.
>> GAUNT: In North Devon we’re such a rural community.
And they don’t have that much opportunity to play outside of North Devon. But just to come outside and play children from the rest of the country, it’s just a wonderful experience for them.

>> DAD: We haven't got a stadium like this where we from,
we haven't got a local football team. So this is even more special coming because they’ve never really seen anything like this before.
>> GAUNT: We came in from the hotel, we spotted the very top of
the Stadium and they were like “WOW”. And they could only see like this part of the Stadium. And when they walked in they were gobsmacked.

To be treated as professional footballers, in a fantastic environment. To get to see the Premier League trophy, refereed by Premier League referees, it's been amazing. In schools we are in the business of making memories and the Premier League has helped us make more memories today.
