Not only did the Winnington Park Primary School pupil appear as his favourite team's mascot on Saturday, but he was also presented with the 50p tossed by the referee at the beginning of the game.

The money was a reward for Craig, of Limewood Grove, Barnton who found a wedding ring on the pitch when he was on a training course run by Vics keeper Dean Greygoose during the school holidays.

The ring belonged to a Kidderminster player, who lost it during his side's match at The Drill Field earlier this season. It has now been returned to him.

But the icing on the cake for Craig was on Sunday, his birthday, when he received a birthday card singed by all the Vics players.

Proud mum Janet said: "He had an absolutely fantastic weekend and the fact they won 3-0 was an added bonus."
