Local boy takes the pitch with Liverpool idols

SUNCORP Stadium's exhibition match between English Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and the Brisbane Roar proved a huge success with over 50,000 fans attending the game.

Local Warwick Wolves player Hayden Gaske had arguably the best seat in the house when he ran out with the Liverpool players to start the match.

Hayden was given the chance thanks to the Reagan Milstein Foundation charity group, of which his father Tim Gaske is an Ambassador.

Hayden has become something of a celebrity with his family, friends and fellow Wolves players after appearing on television for the event.

His Principal Mr Callcott, from Warwick West State School, got Hayden on parade to tell the other kids about the experience and to show off the jersey he ran out in.

Father Tim Gaske said Hayden was blown away by the experience, "His favourite moment was hearing the fully packed stadium sing You'll Never Walk Alone, it was a huge buzz for him."

The RMF does a lot of work within the football community in Australia trying to promote female participation, players with disabilities, indigenous football and promoting the sport in emerging and new communities both in Australia and throughout the Pacific Islands and South East Asia.

Tim Gaske and Tony Oloman at the Warwick Football Development Academy are strong supporters of the charity and do a collection of old football gear to donate to the charity every year.

The development academy is an extension of the Warwick District Football Association for those players that want additional development, coaching, competition and advanced development.

Over the weekend the academy played against Tenterfield at the Queens Park football fields with academy producing a convincing 7-0 win.

Oloman was impressed by captain Jai Caitling and the team for their defensive effort, despite not having their zone players, who were away at the South West Queensland training.
