FORMER Wanderers star striker John McGinlay's heroics as a substitute goalkeeper have earned schoolgirl Leah Kemp the chance to meet the Prime Minister.

Leah, aged 10, was in the crowd the night John replaced Keith Branagan in the Wanderers goal in that unforgettable victory over Reading.

And her account of the match has won her the chance to meet Tony Blair.

She will be asking him just one question: " If you were chosen to be captain, what team would it be and why?"

Leah, a pupil at St Peter's, Smithills Dean, beat more than 500 youngsters from the Bolton area to represent the town in the finals of the Wagon Wheels Press Gang Prime Minister competition.

She also picked up four tickets for a home game at the Reebok Stadium.

Leah is pictured with Wanderers assistant community development officer Kevin Tyrer, with, right, John McGinlay in goal.
