A football-loving family from Chippenham, were left grateful when content creator Jeremy Lynch turned up to surprise them with the ultimate McDonald's Fun Football Watch & Play Kit.
Jonathan Bullen, 50, won the nationwide McDonald's Fun Football competition, receiving a watch and play kit designed to help families keep the football fun alive, after the summer tournament comes to an end. With both of his children, 12-year-old Hope and six-year-old Tau, playing grassroots football, the prize couldn’t have gone to a more fitting family.
The Watch & Play Kit included match balls, training equipment, scoreboard, face paints, flags, banners, inflatable seating and much more, helping this family and their local community come together and celebrate the beautiful game.
For Jonathan, the prize will be utilised by his family time and time again - his six-year-old son plays grassroots football, while his 12-year-old daughter plays for her local team, making football a huge part of their life.
The moment was even more memorable when football content creator Jeremy Lynch, one half of the F2 Freestylers and one of the world's biggest football influencers, personally delivered the prize and hosted a kickabout, alongside Fun Football coaches, for the winning family and their friends.
Father of winning family, Jonathan Bullen said:
Winning was amazing enough but having Jeremy Lynch arrive to surprise us made it even more special. The kids were absolutely buzzing. Football is such a big part of our lives. Both of our children play every week and it's something we all enjoy together as a family. This kit is incredible and we can't wait to use it with friends and their teammates over the summer. It's going to make watching and playing football even more fun.
