Just a heartwarming random thought on this bank holiday Monday.
Today is the 7th birthday of an avid young City fan that I know. I'm not going to name him, but he is a shining example of what our club is about and why we should be proud.
He started to get interested in football at an earlier age and plays the game (very well for his age by all accounts). Perversely, his dad had no interest in football, prior to his son's involvement. Dad was persuaded to bring him to SJP and, frankly, that was it. The catalyst that has seen both of them coming to almost every City game since that 'fateful day' and standing on the big bank together.
The lad has twice been a mascot and has loved every minute of it. He lives and breathes Exeter City and, although he has a passing interest in Manchester United, his bedroom walls are adorned with photos of City players. Next season he will be a member of the Junior Grecians.
Here's to a lifelong association with ECFC and, who knows, one day a starlet of our Academy.
Happy 7th birthday young man!
