IT'S every Manchester United fan's dream to lead the home team out at Old Trafford.
And for one Golborne youngster his dream came true when he joined captain Roy Keane in the tunnel minutes before kick off against local rivals Blackburn Rovers.
Ten-year-old Jack Eckersley, of Pennine Lane, won a prize draw open to all junior members to be a mascot for the day and as well as meeting the players, the St Luke's CE Primary School pupil also scooped a full United kit.
Mum Gina said: "Jack and his dad have only been members for a matter of months and he was so excited before the game. David Beckham used to be Jack's favourite player before he moved to Real Madrid, but now it's Roy Keane and he couldn't wait to meet him."
Jack saw the reds win 2-1 with his mum, dad Barry and cousin Harry.
