Former Scottish World Cup football player Tommy Hutchison was the VIP referee at a special soccer event held in Highbridge on Thursday afternoon (August 7th).
The Football Fun Day was held at Highbridge Football Ground and was supported by dozens of youngsters from across Burnham and Highbridge.
Tommy Hutchison, who also attended the same event in August 2007, is a former Scottish international with 17 caps who also played with Manchester City and was a member of his country’s 1974 World Cup squad in West Germany.
He now works with Bristol City as their Football In The Community Officer, working with children, schools and youth clubs across the region.
He told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “It’s been a great day here in Highbridge – everyone has enjoyed it a lot.”
The popular event, organised by Knightstone Housing Association and the Highbridge Residents Association, was well supported by families and children.
