As a season ticket holder I stand to get up to £37.50 on my Team Card from the #PackOutPR campaign. I want to use my points to buy a deserving youngster a shirt for their first visit to PR. Who wants to join me and do the same? #itfc

A few years back I was asked to take a PDC session at Ipswich Town. At the end of the session we were having a game when this young lad just joined in the game, what I saw was something special. Tonight he is part of @Arsenal first team squad, that lad was @10marceloflores 👏👏👏
