Celebration: Paul Morris (shaking hands on the left), got a special birthday surprise
A football fan was surprised to find his friends and family singing happy birthday to him when he arrived at Molesey Football Club.
Paul Morris, from West Molesey, turned 50 on March 7 and had a special match arranged for him between his family, close friends and teammates at Molesey Community Church FC Veterans.
Mr Morris played the first half of the game for his family team, made up of his sons, Scott and Mark, nephews, brother-in-law and close friends.
The family team were winning 3-2 at half time when Mr Morris switched sides to play for the church team.
The birthday boy scored a crucial penalty and Molesey Community Church FC Veterans won the match 6-4 thanks to their extra fitness.
Special birthday match programmes, printed by EKA, were also given out and players were treated to fish and chips after the match by Molesey Fish Bar.
