Matt Le Tissier is preparing about to go "between the sticks".

The former great goal-scoring ace will turn goalkeeper as three young lads set out to win a pair of topline soccer boots.

The boots will go to one of three youngsters who can put a spotkick past Matt.

Alderman-Quilley pupils Aaron Brown, Ashley Hughes and Craig Lisher won the opportunity at a football event in December.

Head of PE at the Cherbourg Road secondary school Neil Glass said: "All the lads love football at Alderman-Quilley."

Ashley, 12, said: "We've all been practising round the clock."

Craig, 12, said: "We've never had a chance to do anything like this before. I'm really looking forward to it."

Arron, 13, who often takes penalties for the school team, said: "I'm really excited. I'll be working on my placement skills."
