Signed Harry Kane shirt lifts Londonderry schoolboy's spirits

A five-year-old boy from Londonderry has received a special gift from one of his sporting heroes after undergoing major brain surgery in April.

Caleb Toland was diagnosed with chiari malformation, a condition where the lower part of the brain pushes down into the spinal canal, when he was one.

Caleb's dad, Ritchie, reached out to Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane asking for a message of support.

But the Spurs-mad family were shocked when Caleb was sent a signed shirt.

The Greenhaw Primary School pupil required surgery because his brain had started to descend downwards because of his condition, which resulted in a cyst developing on his spine.
