“He’s had a couple of setbacks with Chelsea, but he’s found his feet again.
“The whole family are going out to Germany to see him play.
“There’s 20 of us in total heading over – Billy’s papa, aunties, uncles, cousins, and us, obviously.
“Some of us will be heading home after the second game, but me, his dad and brother don’t have return flights.
“We’ll just play it by ear and see how far we get.
“Let’s hope we make it to the final.
“We’ll be at all three games cheering him on from the sidelines either way.
“Billy’s my eldest and his brother, Harvey, plays football too.
“He’s hoping to follow in his brother’s footsteps.”
Harvey Gilmour, 18, added: “I’m really proud of my brother.
“I think for Friday’s game it’ll be a close call. I’m thinking 1-1 and hopefully Billy will score for us.”
