The Wellington Phoenix have endeared themselves to Nelson football fans with their opening training session at Trafalgar Park this afternoon.
The Phoenix, who are in town for tomorrow’s A-League preseason game against Central Coast Mariners, allowed people to view their training before they spent 40 minutes as a squad signing autographs and taking selfies with their fans.
Goal keeper Glen Moss even signed some of his gloves and gave them to a young fan.
Their match begins at 4pm tomorrow at Trafalgar Park while Tasman United debut in the curtain-raiser at 1.15pm.
