Wiltshire Times winner Owen Fitton and Swindon Advertiser winner Ben Smith with Paolo Di Canio
A lucky Melksham schoolboy got to train with his footballing heroes on Monday after winning a Wiltshire Times competition.
Owen Fitton, 11, spent the day with Paulo Di Canio and the Swindon Town football team, taking part in skills training, having a tour of the ground and meeting the players.
Town fan Owen, a Year 7 pupil at Melksham Oak school, said: “I really had fun, training with Di Canio going into the team room and that. The best bit for me was doing the skills with Di Canio.”
