A teenage photographer who shares a rare syndrome with just 14 other people in the world was overjoyed to spend a day snapping Everton FC’s win over Arsenal and meeting the players. Dylan Lombard, from Glasgow, was a special guest of the club earlier this month.
The keen snapper's football-loving dad, Roy, contacted staff to ask if his son could visit the club as part of their nationwide quest to visit and photograph stadia. The 19-year-old was welcomed to Everton’s iconic Goodison Park by the Liverpool club’s fan engagement team and was given the opportunity to shadow club photographer Tony McArdle.
Dylan, who was diagnosed as deaf aged three, worked alongside Tony to capture a Premier League matchday at the famous stadium. His big day out included everything from player arrivals, meeting club legends and taking pictures of the match itself - including the celebrations as new manager Sean Dyche secured his first win against league leaders Arsenal.
