Unbelievable Jeff Kirkcaldy High School pupils live life of football stars

Schoolchildren have enjoyed a taste of life in the Premier League at some of the UK’s top stadiums.

Kirkcaldy High School pupils were treated like superstar footballers during a two-day trip to St James’ Park, Old Trafford and Villa Park.

As well as enjoying matches between Newcastle United and Liverpool and Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, they were thrust under the spotlight in mock post-match interviews and their experience was recorded in a Sky Sports-style video.

The footage, by sports tour operator Trans World Soccer, has now been posted online so friends and family can see their moment emulating the likes of Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard.

Teacher Paul I’Anson led the group of 39 pupils and four teachers.

He said: “Some of the pupils had never been to a football match or had never been to a big event before, so it gave them the experience of being part of a huge crowd.

“The video is really good and they all had a really good laugh making it.”
