Child football expert's Euro 2016 predictions

A six year old football expert has forecast the results for the second round of Euro 2016 matches for the home nations.

‘Statto’ Harley has learned to identify every Premier League player by their shirt number. He was filmed by his Dad reeling off a host of top-flight stars, as well as recalling the shirt numbers of lesser known players.

The Tottenham Hotspur fan memorised the details after studying cards bought by his father Dean Hughes and spends hours poring over the facts by reading magazines and watching TV.

Harley became 5 lives ‘Paul the Octopus’ and drew upon his deep football knowledge to predict who will be victorious in this weekend’s key fixtures.

In his first round of predictions for the home nations, Harley got three out of four results correct.
