Gills assistant manager's daughter to make Wembley crowd despite broken arms
Comments |
Thousands of
Gillingham fans - old, new and returning - are getting their
terrace chants, travels plans and good spirits in check for
their team's biggest game in a decade.
One fan with good reason to be
looking forward to Wembley is 10-year-old Sophie Barrett, daughter
of Gills' assistant manager Scott Barrett.
Sophie broke both her arms playing
on a swing while her father was in Rochdale for the Gills' first
leg of the play-off semi-final.
Scott said: "She came to the second
leg and enjoyed that immensely. She's into it through her dad and
will be so excited."
The schoolgirl is set to
travel to London with with her mum, grandparents, six-year-old
brother...plus two arms in plaster!
- To read more on Sophie and the build
up to Wembley don't forget to pick up the print edition
of the Medway Messenger this Friday with our special 16-page
Gills final pullout.
