Chelsea star Petr Cech hosted 20 lucky children today at the famous Cobham training ground.

The kids were from Chelsea's Breakfast Clubs, which provide morning meals for children who are unable to get a nutritious start.

Those attending the most mornings were allowed to visit the training ground as a special prize.

Mr Cech acts as ambassador for the programme, which feeds more than 200 children from 10 schools across Hammersmith and Fulham.

He said: “All the players know how important it is to get a good start in the morning.

"It helps you concentrate, focus your mind and gives you energy for the day ahead."

The programme is run in conjunction with Hammersmith and Fulham Council, which says schools are reporting better behavior in those children taking part.

Council spokesman Lynne Richardson said: “The Breakfast Clubs continue to be very popular in our schools.

"Heads and learning mentors appreciate the benefits of having pupils in school, on time and focused for the day."
