Two lucky Chelsea fans met the players thanks to winning a club raffle prize
Two lucky Chelsea fans met the players and were in a team photo thanks to winning a club raffle prize.
Devon Atkins enjoyed a day to remember last month when he joined the squad for its annual photo call after winning the Chelsea Foundation 50/50 Raffle prize.
Devon, and son Frankie, met the players individually before the pair took their place either side of Frank Lampard.
Launched in September 2017, The Chelsea Foundation Raffle is dedicated to raising money for the Chelsea Foundation with 50 per cent of the funds going to winners and the other 50 per cent going back to supporting the good causes of the club’s Foundation and the cost of running the draw. Tickets cost just £2 to enter the draw.
Prizes available to win are multiple cash winners, a pair of Kepa Arrizabalaga’s signed gloves and two tickets to watch the visit of Newcastle on October 19.
Devon, who has been a Chelsea fan since childhood said: “It has been awesome, a great experience, I have absolutely loved it and it was much more than I expected.
“We got a mini guided tour and then met all the players who signed my son’s shirt.
“I got to meet Frank Lampard before the players came out and we had a good chat. My son is named after him so it was extra special.
“Frankie was so excited to be a part of the photo as well. It is a great prize for a great cause and I am glad I supported the Foundation Raffles.’
