Mike Christofi from Cockfosters wrote a letter to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain the Arsenal England International football star when he was eight years old telling him that he was his favourite player and that he loved watching him, and one day wished he could be as good as him.
He told him he played for a local team and that he trained during the week and asked for his football advice.
Mike also said he would love to hear back from Alex, as to how he could become a great footballer just like him.
He enclosed his e-mail and home address and received a letter of encouragement he has also had the added bonus to have had the chance to meet him.
Showing are photos of Mike Christofi pictured with Alex Oxlade Chamberlain when he met him at the Arsenal Junior Gunners Christmas party and a photo of Mike with the letter he recieved from his idol Alex Oxlade Chamberlain.
