“It’s not many kids who can say they’ve got one of England’s best players coaching them.

“Paul loves it and comes along to all the games.

“He’s on great form and is still as canny as ever.

“It’s amazing to see the reaction from other parents when he turns up on the sideline. Everyone wants a picture with him.”

And Gazza’s magic seems to be paying off — the team have won their last three.
