An experience Guernsey mascot will never forget

The young Guernsey boy chosen to lead his island's side out today says it has an experience he will never forget.

9-year-old Anthony McMahon was born with abnormal hip joints and with one leg shorter than the other. His dream of playing professional football depends on life-changing surgery.

His mum and dad, who were watching from the stands, say they are immensely proud.

Oh yes, very proud. He's been quite nervous in the lead up to it. He didnt' want to talk about it, but today, now he's done it he's just enjoyed every minute of it. As parents, we're just the same as any other parent if their son or daughter was going out representing their country - just immensely proud of him.

– Kerry Croxton & Ian McMahon
