WBA fan Chris Bradley took part in 2019 and told Football Aid about his experience:

“Just wanted to say thank you for an amazing event at The Hawthorns on Friday (17th May), really was a top day and a great game for everybody concerned. Was pleased to get a bit of extra game time due to injuries, just sad my lad didn’t get on the score sheet but I’m sure he still enjoyed the experience especially with both his dad and his son on the pitch with him. Nice gesture with the medals for the mascots too, well done there. Take care and I’m sure I’ll see you soon at another match. Best wishes”.
