[WATCH] Students out in droves to welcome Labour leader in Naxxar

He's not much of a baller... but Joseph Muscat tried his hand at a lob in the Naxxar Higher Secondary's basketball court, where he met some very 'worshipful' students together with the junior education minister Clyde Puli.

"I haven't played basketball in 10 years," Muscat said, as a disclaimer inside the court.

Elsewhere on the Higher Secondary campus, Muscat was greeted by chants of "Malta taghna lkoll" (Malta for all), 'We want Joseph' and 'We want change'.

Adding to the rock-star treatment were the continuous requests by students to have Muscat sign his biography and party manifesto. He also stopped for a short interview with the school's magazine.
