A FOOTBALL-mad father and son from Prestwich scored the winner in a national quiz.

Eleven-year-old Zayd Nasir and his dad Shoaib visited an exhibition laid on by kids' sticker-album company Topps earlier this year and entered the Ultimate Football Quiz contest.

They made it through to the final at Villa Park in Birmingham, where they were crowned victors in a nail-biting finish.

Shoaib and Zayd, who are both keen Manchester United fans, spent months swotting up on Premier League facts and figures and their hard work paid off.

Shoaib said: "We can't believe it. We love football and are massive United fans. It turns out we are more knowledgeable about the beautiful game than we thought.

"It was a tough final, and of course very tense, but we kept our nerve and came out as champions."
