A COLCHESTER boy is to live his dream as he walks out onto the Wembley pitch next week.

Oliver Murray, 8, of Hamilton Primary School, was chosen to escort a player next Tuesday at the friendly match between England and Sweden.

The St Helena Road resident, whose favourite England player is Theo Walcott, was picked after he entered a national competition with McDonald’s.

Oliver, who is looking forward to meeting some of the premiership’s top players, said: “I’ve been an England fan for as long as I can remember.

“So to get the chance to walk out on the pitch alongside the team is brilliant.

“I can’t wait for the game and just hope we win.”
