A five-year-old Oldham Athletic fan who offered to take over when the club's goalkeeper finished his loan spell has been given a "trial".
Thomas Young was worried about Connor Ripley's return to Middlesbrough so he wrote to the club offering his services in goal.
Latics chairman Simon Corney replied by inviting Thomas to try out before their match against Rochdale on Saturday.
He said it was his "dream come true" to have a go in goal.
Oldham's goalkeeper coach Carlo Nash gave Thomas - who was dressed in full kit - an introductory training session and then goalkeepers Ripley and Chris Kettings put him through his paces all in front of the Rochdale fans.
