PICS: Louis Makes His Pro Football Debut

Louis Tomlinson took to the pitch for his first professional football match on Wednesday in front of 5000 screaming One Direction fans.

Also there to watch the boybander show off his footie skills was his girlfriend Eleanor Calder who wisely kept a safe distance in a box from the infamously overprotective and loyal One Directioners.

Some fans had traveled from as far as the US and Europe to see him play.

The 22-year-old star - who came on as a sub for his home-town club Doncaster Rovers in the reserve match against Rotherham - kept fans waiting until the 64th minute before he made his appearance at the Keepmoat Stadium.

Cue lots of deafening screams whenever he was anywhere near the ball, and a lot of booing if anyone else got too close to the star.

Later Louis tweeted: “Wow what an incredible experience. Can’t put into words how I feel :) I will never forget pulling on my own Doncaster Rovers shirt!!”

Oh and in case you were wondering, the match ended on a 0-0 draw.
