A YOUNG Lichfield City footballer was given a starring role as his club’s mascot after a kind gesture went viral.

Alfie Harrison took on the role at the Trade Tyre Community Stadium for their game against Brocton last weekend after winning a legion of fans when he made a £10 donation to AFC Wimbledon after flooding damaged their pitch.

The 10-year-old’s pocket money contribution saw him applauded by fans across the country – leading Lichfield to acknowledge his efforts by making him mascot and allowing him to walk out with captain Dan Lomas and the rest of the team ahead of kick off.

A spokesperson for the club said:

> “We are incredibly pleased to have been able to give Alfie the opportunity to walk out with our first team as mascot on Saturday.  
>  
> “Alfie’s kind donation was an inspiration to us all, and deserves to be recognised.   
>  
> “We are incredibly proud of how his actions have presented our club to the rest of the football community.”
