Hundreds of kids got their hands, as well as their feet and heads, on the new Premier League Nike ball yesterday before even the likes of Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling had had a chance.
Youngsters taking part in the Premier League Kicks programme were given the honour by Nike of trying the new Ordem V, the official ball of the 2017/18 Premier League season.
The kids showed off their skills and their pleasure at getting exclusive use of the ball.
Here are the best social posts and pictures from the day.
