Tyler, 13, is autistic and Newcastle United mad.

He started going to the sensory room at St James' Park in 2019, which offers a place for people to enjoy the matches from a more peaceful and quieter space.

Staff at Newcastle United started to take Tyler out to the stands during the match in 10-minute intervals, to build up his courage.

He is now a proud season ticket holder.

He wrote to Newcastle United, where Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon were inspired by his bravery to take the big step and become part of the "iconic Geordie roar".
