A 10-year-old football fan has become the first turban-wearing Sikh to be a Premier League mascot.

Jeevan Singh Hayre from Gravesend made history at the Tottenham versus Wolves match on Saturday, February 17.

The schoolboy walked onto the pitch alongside defender Ben Davies at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in front of 60,000 spectators.

Moments before that he had met the rest of the team – his idols – as they signed a shirt for him.

He even shared a joke with team captain, Son Heung-min, as to who is better: Messi or Ronaldo?

His dad Satinder said: “He’s a confident person anyway but now he just wants to talk, and won’t stop talking.

“I can’t explain what this has done for him. He was on cloud nine.”

The father and son are avid Spurs fans and season ticket holders – they go to watch a match every weekend.

And Jeevan being chosen as a mascot for the game has been a triumphant moment for both of them.

“I’m not even exaggerating, he didn’t sleep for the first day,” said his dad.

Jeevan spent the entire night taking phone calls from family across the world, boasting of his big moment, despite Tottenham’s 2-1 loss.

His dad, who is also a coach for Guru Nanak FC, based off Trinity Road, Gravesend, is full of pride at his son’s achievement.

“My faith, my football club and my family are the three pillars of my life and for them to all come together in front of the world – I was 1,000ft tall for 90 minutes.”

Since the Premier League was founded in 1992, Jeevan is understood to be the first turbaned Sikh mascot to take to the pitch.

Satinder says such representation is powerful as it helps break down barriers in the sport.

“I hope this inspires the future generations of Sikh football fans,” he said.
