The winner of 'Barclays Fan of India' contest, twenty-four year old Aby Baby Kuruvilla, has just returned from the trip of a lifetime to London to see his beloved Arsenal football club as his prize for winning the competition. During his VIP stay in the capital the die-hard Arsenal supporter from Kerala met his favourite players before enjoying the Gunners' 1-0 victory over Liverpool in the Barclays Premier League. He also received a personal tour of the Emirates Stadium and was invited onto the pitch in front of 60,000 fans for a special presentation by Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood ahead of the fixture on Wednesday 10 February. Aby said: "This was my first trip outside of India and certainly an unforgettable experience. I had always wanted to see Arsenal play at the Emirates Stadium so winning the 'Barclays Fan of India' contest was a dream come true. The highlight for me was definitely meeting the Arsenal players in the tunnel ahead of the match; I have some amazing stories to tell my friends and family back home." |
