Sports superstar Andy Murray surprised a stunned group of children when he unexpectedly turned up at a tennis summer camp in Dunblane.

The Wimbledon champion dropped into Dunblane Sports Centre, where coach Mark Walker Tennis had been teaching a class of  6 to 14-year-olds.

Even he was taken by surprise when Murray walked into his old club after spotting the children out on the court while driving past.

He said: “It was totally unexpected, I didn’t know he was coming. The kids just couldn’t believe it.

“The best thing was they didn’t know he was coming and then when he came down and started speaking to me I still don’t think they knew who I was speaking too.

“He just walked down the hill with his tennis racket.”

Murray then started putting them through their paces.

Mark said: “He played with all of them, played with every single kid. Because it’s Dunblane where he started it’s so powerful.

“It made a lot of people very happy, people couldn’t believe it – what an experience for them.”
