Kids absolutely lose it over football hero in this sweet video

Imagine getting that reaction every time you walked into a room.

It's important that children have heroes they can look up to. For some British schoolchildren, they come in the form of favorite footballers.

Kids at the Brecknock Primary School in London got the unique chance to meet their hero in person when professional footballer, Theo Walcott, casually strolled up to the school yard for a special visit.

When the kids caught sight of the famous athlete, they absolutely lost their shit.

This video is a sweet reminder of how much influence role models possess. It's nice to see this athlete paying it forward.
