LUCKY Park High School pupils practised their football skills with Everton star Phil Neville.

The Everton skipper visited the specialist sports college in Birkenhead last week to accept a donation towards his charity, the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

During his visit he also spoke with students who raised the money through a number of sporting activities and signed shirts and memorabilia.

And he had a practice kickabout with pupils Aaron Bunclark, who is in Everton’s Youth Team and Ben Sadler, who coaches for Everton Mini Kickers.

Peter Silcock, head of PE at Park High, said: “This was a very special occasion.

“Phil was genuinely interested in all their achievements and spoke about his charity.

“We are pleased to be able to support such a wonderful cause and look forward to welcoming Phil back in the future.”
