My Dream Came true
My Wembley weekend
On November 9th 2014 I fulfilled a life long dream of mine
I traveled down to London's Wembley stadium to see the Dallas Cowboys Vs Jacksonville Jaguars.

My weekend started on Saturday 8th November 2014
Myself and My brother traveled to Edinburgh to catch the train to London.
After a nearly 5 hour journey we arrive and head to the hotel.
We had a quick change and then headed for the UK cowboys fan bash
What a night that was, It was a chance for Cowboys fan & NFL fans to meet up and have a drink and a laugh.

On arrival we were all giving wristbands,We enter and went for a beer and i was lucky enough to meet some of the members of the UK cowboys fan club group, Who I had been speaking to over a year,
the event was amazing and I really can't thank the guys enough for a fantastic time,All their hard work was well worth it
they even had Talking Cowboys broadcasting live from the event
with them having a special guest to appear live and answer a few questions and it was non other than Orlando Scandrik

They also ran a silent auction which helped raise funds for the British legion,
where you could bid on signed balls,helmets etc
I was lucky enough to grab myself something.

| Brandon Weeden signed ball |
The night wasn't over yet there was one more surprise from the guys.
Super Bowl winning Quarterback Danny white
who was such a gent he posed for pictures signed autographs for all those who wished.
So I took the opportunity to have my T.O jersey signed

Game Day
9th November 2014
As a life long Dallas Cowboys fan this wasn't an opportunity i was gonna pass up. As it would be the easiest & cheapest option to see them.
 |
| Heading to wembely |
So its game day, Myself and brother get ready to head to Wembley and my excitement is building.
I feel like its a dream.
 |
| me at the game |
The atmosphere is building and I'm on cloud 9
soon its time for the game the players came out to warm up.
It seems like its taking forever to get the game started
now its time for the national anthems both US and UK.
 |
| the national anthems |
now its game time and the teams are being introduced, As soon as the Cowboys were introduced.
I got all emotional and almost brought to tears as this was a 27 year dream in the making
and what a phenomenal day that atmosphere was fantastic the crowd were amazing,
the best part was the cowboys won
also I can say i was there
I would do it all over again in a heartbeat
I would say this was one of the best days of my life
