Aaron Wan-Bissaka surprised students at his former primary school this week, making a special appearance at a school event that left the kids thrilled. Ben Shires, a children’s TV host, visited Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School in New Addington and prepared to introduce Wan-Bissaka, one of his former pupils.

The Crystal Palace right-back was excited to return to his old school to motivate the current students.

As he stepped onto the stage, the students erupted in cheers, and Wan-Bissaka participated in a fun Q&A session with Shires to test the students’ football knowledge.

Three lucky students were invited to join him on stage, and as a parting gift, Wan-Bissaka presented the school with a signed shirt he had worn during a match.

Reflecting on the experience, he said, “It felt great. I haven’t been back in a while. It’s amazing to return to a place filled with so many happy memories.”
