Arsenal Football Club recently held an event for Arsenal’s young fan base, and eleven-year-old Junior Gunner Luke Piggott received a very special surprise.

Two hundred Junior Gunners were invited to enter a competition to prove just how much they loved Arsenal, with the promise of a very special prize. The stand-out entry came from Luke who impressed with his self-written Arsenal themed rap.

Unknown to Luke, his entry had earned him a special insight of the Arsenal training ground with one of his Arsenal heroes, Oliver Giroud. In the boot room Luke was given an exclusive sneak peak of the new PUMA evoPOWER 1.3 boots which were brought to life on pitch for the first time by Olivier Giroud during Arsenal’s away fixture against Stoke City on Sunday.

In addition to going to special events, the junior Gunner membership in with a chance to be a matchday mascot, the Junior Gunners is a great way for children to make new friends. There are a number of great benefits to being a member including access to reduced price tickets for first team matches, as well as various events, competitions and quizzes held throughout the season.
