Bristol City fan Paddy Armstrong took part in 2018 and told Football Aid about his experience after the game:

“As a football fan and as a player who never really made it at any senior level, the opportunity that you have made available is simply a dream come true with the added bonus of supporting charity. From actually walking into the dressing room and seeing the kit laid out, provision of drinks, access to the players area and to the Legends; simply brilliant”!
