Emirates are giving four lucky fans the chance to lead out Crystal Palace and Manchester United ahead of the 2016 Emirates FA Cup Final in a dream mascot experience.

The competition’s title sponsor is giving supporters the chance to win the ultimate upgrade and is challenging them to become the best mascots The FA Cup Final has ever had.

Mascots will be invited to Wembley on the Friday evening to see the famous trophy, meet FA Cup legends and be put through their paces in preparation for The Final.

Former United legend, and three-time FA Cup winner, Gary Pallister visited Wembley Stadium to launch the mascot competition.

Having played a pivotal role for United when they saw off Palace in the 1990 Final, Pallister knows only too well the feeling of walking out onto the hallowed turf.

He said: “I was lucky enough to win The FA Cup three times in my career and there is simply no better buzz than walking out to a packed stadium on cup final day.

“It’s something you dream of as a kid, so it’s a fantastic opportunity for some lucky boys and girls to walk out with their heroes.

“It’s something that will stay with them forever.”
