A five-year-old lad shocked teachers after he turned up at school dressed as Everton boss Sean Dyche.
Pupils were given the chance to come to class looking like their favourite sports star yesterday (19 Jun).
Jacob Walton opted to go for a different look despite all his pals dressing up as footballers.

He went as the gravel-voiced Toffees gaffer for the event as part of sports week at St Bede’s infant school in Widnes, Cheshire.
Little Jacob got his mum Tiah, 25, to transform him into the bald boss.
He put on his Everton branded tracksuit, pulled on a cap to make it look like he had no hair.
His mother completed the finishing touch with Dyche’s signature ginger goatee.
When Jacob came home with the idea, Tiah was slightly wary of the costume knowing other kids would opt for the usual footballer get up.

However, honouring her son’s wish went down a treat at school impressing his peers and teachers.
Customer service advisor Tiah, from Widnes, told What’s The Jam: “I was shocked when Jacob said he wanted to go as Sean Dyche.
“I knew it would be Everton related but I wasn’t expecting him to choose the manager.

“His friends loved it. I was a bit wary as I assumed most of the children would just be in football kits, but it didn’t phase him at all.
“Jacob loves Everton, both mine and his dad’s families are Everton supporters, so it was only natural that Jacob ended up loving it too.
“School said come dressed as your favourite sports star and my Jacob understood the assignment.”
