MUM’S FOOTBALL STRIP

A young mother got her kit off to give her son a dream trip to the 2003 Worthington Cup final. She posed as a nude model for an art class and won two free tickets to see Manchester United play Liverpool at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium. The young mum spotted a competition in her local paper asking people what they would be prepared to do to get their hands on tickets. She submitted her outrageous suggestion but admitted she hoped she wouldn’t win. But she did and said: «I was dreading a phone call and it took a bit of nerve to take my clothes off.» She went to the final with United fan son, who saw his side beaten 2-0.
