William took George and his sister, Princess Charlotte, to their first football match last October, when Aston Villa played Norwich at their Carrow Road ground close to the family's home, Anmer Hall. Aston Villa scored an incredible 5-1 victory, and the young prince thrilled football fans and royal watchers alike with his enthusiastic goal celebrations!
After the match, Aston Villa's official Twitter account tweeted: "You know how to pick your #AVFC games, Your Royal Highness," adding a winking emoji. William reflected on the special day recently as part of a BBC documentary called Football, Prince William and Our Mental Health.
