Twin boys one step closer to achieving their dream.

11 year old Twins who were first featured in The News at 3 months old wearing matching tops saying 'I want to play football for Portsmouth' and then featured again aged 9 wearing matching Pompey tops, are now one Step Closer to their dream by being mascots at a recent Pompey game, meeting their heroes and kicking a ball on the pitch.

11 year old Reuben Deacon and Stanley Deacon were delighted to become mascots for their beloved Pompey. They had a fantastic afternoon meeting their heroes and kicking a ball around on the pitch, doing a lap of honour and having their names and pictures displayed on the big screen.
