THE Beckhams take over entire theme parks for their boys' birthday bashes - but Bolton parents can now hire the Reebok for their little ones.

Soccer mad youngsters can have the ultimate birthday treat to make their friends green with envy.

As well as the usual party food, the mini guest will be able to visit the Whites' dressing room to see where their favourite star gets ready for a match; run out of the tunnel to music, and sit in Big Sam's seat on the bench.

The parties are the idea of John Ashley, junior whites club programme manager, who said: "We started them because of demand.

"We know a lot of other clubs do the parties and since we advertised in our junior whites programme a few weeks ago, we have already had 30 bookings. We are a family orientated club and the parties are open to all children."

There are two parties to chose from - Soccer Stars, which also includes 45 minutes of football at the nearby Bolton Arena, or the Big Birthday, which has a magic show and disco and where lots of individual parties will join together for one big party.

The parties will be held on Saturdays (when Wanderers are not playing at home) and Sundays. Each party will last for two hours and kick off with the mini tour of the stadium. And the young guests will not leave empty handed. They will take home exclusive Wanderers goodie bag. The Soccer Stars party cost £160 for a minimum of 10 and maximum of 16 guests per party. The Big Birthday costs £8 per head for a minimum of eight or a maximum of 20 guests per party. To book contact John Ashley on 01204 673788.
