Mackenzie had said that he "did not know whether he could get the time off school" or whether his mother "would let him travel half way across the world" for the game.

Undeterred, he saved up his cash and got his mother's blessing for the 10,000-mile trip.

He arrived in England in time to see Everton beat his dad's club Wolves 4-0 on Wednesday.

Everton have played at Goodison Park since 1892 but will move to their new 52,888-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock for next season.
