Paul Jacobs, Teacher, John Ferneley College
``No-one back at school will understand just how great the week was- two La Liga fixtures, friendly professional players, charismatic skilful coaches, a rep prepared to work tirelessly and a group of boys having the time of their lives. As one boy said – ‘surreal’. Oh yeah, and the sun shone every day and we swam in the Med``
