Meet the 13-year-old stadium announcer

How do you think you would feel speaking in front of a crowd of around 100 people?

Well, when a football club put out a message looking for help to do just that, as a stadium announcer - a young fan stepped up.

Thirteen-year-old James answered the call of Burscough FC in Lancashire and hasn't looked back.

He said he's received "loads of compliments".

James, who is a Liverpool fan, read out Burscough players' names to a crowd of more than 100 fans

If you've been to see sport in a stadium you might have heard an announcer, they tell the crowd about events on the pitch like goal scorers and substitutions.

James' dad volunteers at the club, and says his son was "very nervous" during the first game but soon "hit his stride" during his second game.

He said James "made it his own" and took on a style that you usually would hear from a boxing commentator.

"Everyone commented how amazing he was."

James' team has picked up a big win against rivals Longridge Town while he was behind the microphone

Each time James has got behind the announcer's microphone, he could be heard by more than 100 fans.

He said he found the experience "very good" and is set to continue as the announcer for Burscough's next match.

"I've always wanted to do it and be a sports reporter," he said.

While James was behind the microphone, Burscough FC managed to pick up a win over their rivals Longridge Town, so who knows, maybe he brought them a bit of luck too.
