Amid all of the excitement at the recent Premier League Primary Stars Football Tournament, the hundreds of schoolchildren taking part would be forgiven for not noticing that a famous face was watching the action.
Manchester United goalkeeper Tom Heaton was in the stands and on the touchline cheering on his son's school team who had qualified as United's representatives for the finals at Molineux Stadium, the home of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
With 116 Premier League appearances for United, Burnley and Aston Villa, Heaton knows exactly what playing at a top-flight stadium means to those involved. This is what he made of a very special day.
"It is incredible being here. We all know how football can bring people together and give people experiences and enjoyment. I am feeling the excitement for everyone involved.
"Seeing these children have a day like this, to be able to have a Premier League football experience, with their school friends, representing a Premier League club and their school, it's been absolutely phenomenal.
"It's a day and an experience they will never forget. To get to this point, everyone here has done incredibly well. It is a massive achievement.
"With it being the final year of primary and the children possibly going to different high schools, it will bring each group together and give them a memory to take with them.
"It's opening that door of possibility, giving the kids some confidence and belief in what they're doing as well as real positive energy that can lead them on to whatever they want to do. Days like this are amazing for that, providing children with some real belief in what they're about.
"This goes way beyond football. It's to do with studies or what they want to do for a career. You want kids to feel like they have got loads of opportunities to grow and learn.
"It's about children realising what they are capable of. It's an understanding of the possibilities of where they can go - no matter where it is.
"There has not been one child that I've walked past that hasn't been smiling from ear to ear which shows how powerful it is. They will feel a real benefit from that going forward.
"You can't write that down on a spreadsheet but you can feel it. All the parents and teachers that are here, you can feel how powerful it is. I have been excited but it's only because I can feel how good an opportunity it is.
"It's far exceeded my expectations. Seeing the operation, how the Premier League is running it, how it is set up, the facilities they have provided, how well organised it is; it's running like clockwork.
"When the schools were coming out of the tunnel, I just thought it was an amazing moment. Walking out, understanding what it feels like... there's plenty of people in the stadium so they can hear the noise, the Premier League music is playing, they walked past the Premier League Trophy, they get a taste of what it means to deliver at this sort of level. What a fantastic experience.
"We were in the hotel with a few of the teams the evening before and it was brilliant to have the parents and children from different parts of the country coming together. Travelling together, staying over, it's another experience that a lot of kids don't have.
"It's the life skills of giving these kids the opportunity, growing from it. I'll be making sure that my son understands how good an experience this has been, makes sure he reflects on it.
"I'll take just how good the event has been and how powerful it can be for all the kids involved, how important it is that we support this age group and give them this opportunity. We're very fortunate to be involved in Premier League football and this shows the power of what it can do. I think the Premier League have done an incredible job."
