Ciaran is walking in a Windsor wonderland

The opportunity to walk out as a Player Escort was provided through McDonald’s new grassroots football website, McDonald’s Kickstart, where you can access once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.

Ciaran got to experience, first-hand, the excitement of the build-up to the game, including being pitch-side as the Northern Ireland team warmed up, before walking out hand-in-hand with Northern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt.

Ciaran said he thoroughly enjoyed his big day out: “It was a fantastic experience; I really enjoyed leading the team out and hearing the crowds cheering them on was superb. I loved meeting all the players and walking down the tunnel and looking out at the crowd was an amazing feeling. Although it was a draw on the night, I had a brilliant evening at Windsor Park.”
