The family of a five-year-old Sunderland fan who is battling cancer thanked Premier League rivals Everton after the club picked him to be their mascot.
Bradley Lowery, who is terminally ill, has won the backing of football fans across the country during his battle with neuroblastoma.
Lowery, who is from Blackhall, County Durham, led out his team against Everton earlier this season, and on that occasion the Merseyside pledged £200,000 to an appeal towards paying for ground-breaking treatment in the U.S.
And Everton invited Bradley to be their mascot for their home game against Manchester City, which they won 4-0, in front of the TV cameras.
