    Mickey Demetriou, Captain of Crewe Alexandra Football Club visit

    We were thrilled to welcome Mickey Demetriou, Captain of Crewe Alexandra Football Club into school today. Mickey was so gracious and spent time answering all the children's questions.
    We have learnt that Mickey is originally from Sussex and that he grew up supporting Chelsea Football Club as that was who his dad supported! Mickey still supports Chelsea and his favourite player of all time Gianfranco Zola.
    Mickey has scored over 40 goals in his 18 year career with 10 of those being last season alone - Cracking season! He has been given 20 yellow cards but thankfully only been sent off once (when playing for Newport) - this was however for 2 disputable yellow cards and not a straight red - Phew!
    Mickey never gets bored of football and is so thankful that he gets to do the sport he loves daily!
    Crewe Alexandra Football Club train 4 times a week and play most weekends and sometimes on Tuesdays too!
    Mickey puts his Captainship down to hard work, team spirit and ensuring that the whole team are working as one for the best outcomes for the club! What a great ethos and mindset!
    Mickey has also signed some photos and given out a voucher for a free child's ticket for this Fridays match against Colchester (1 child goes free with every fee paying adult - please see booking terms and conditions). The children will be coming home with these tomorrow! Mickey also signed a Club strip for us which we will be proudly displaying in our Dasaolu Cabinet for all the admire!
    Thanks so much to Mickey and to Crewe Alexandra Football Club The children (and Mr Thompson) loved your visit!
