Have you ever been on the outside ... feeling nobody loves you?

The young Swansea City mascot who was the subject of an award-winning football photograph has revealed the secret behind the striking image.

Mackenzie Clayton, from Abercraf in the Upper Swansea Valley, was pictured looking disgruntled as his heroes took part in a pre-match huddle.

The eight-year-old, from Abercraf in the Upper Swansea Valley, said he had simply wanted to be involved with the players.

Guardian and Observer sports photographer Tom Jenkins's picture was named the Barclays best football photo of the 2011-12 season.

Sandra Clayton, Mackenzie's mother told BBC Wales: "I couldn't believe the picture won!

"I thought 'typical, Mackenzie's standing there with his hands on his hips'!.
