HIS SCHOOL THOUGHT HE WAS SICK UNTIL THEY SAW HIM ON TV 😂
Nine-year-old Sammy Scott from North Tyneside, England, faked being ill to skip school and watch Newcastle United play Arsenal in an EFL Cup semi-final. He got caught when Sky Sports cameras captured him celebrating on live television.
Sammy's father Mark, a plasterer from Forest Hall, took his son to the Emirates Stadium in London for the match. They told Benton Dene Primary School that Sammy was sick.
During the match, Sky Sports cameras panned to Sammy enthusiastically celebrating Anthony Gordon's goal, which secured Newcastle's 2-0 victory over Arsenal. Relatives and friends immediately recognized the duo on TV and started sending them messages and videos.
Mark's phone started going crazy with people saying they had just seen him and Sammy on television. The footage went viral on social media.
Sammy's school found out when the media coverage spread online. The school sent an email to the family marking his absence as unauthorized due to media footage showing him away in London at a football match.
Mark posted about the incident on social media and received support from football fans across the country. Former Liverpool and England striker Peter Crouch commented, saying the school should cut the boy some slack because these are memories for a lifetime.
Mark defended his decision, saying his son rarely missed school and had been a reliable student all year. He explained it was a huge semi-final game that might not come around again for a long time, so he decided to make an exception and create a once-in-a-lifetime memory with his son.
