Watch the touching moment West Ham fan Brooke Lawrance fulfilled her dream by leading out the Hammers out at London Stadium... after meeting Andy Carroll and Dimitri Payet

Young West Ham fan Brooke Lawrance fulfilled a lifelong dream on Saturday when she led the Hammers out before their game against Stoke at the London stadium.

The 10-year-old suffers from Cerebral palsy - a neurological condition that weakens the muscles, affecting movement and co-ordination - and was told she would never be able to walk.

However a campaign led by her parents, Sarah and Pete from Ipswich, helped to raise £75,000 which gave Brooke the chance to travel to America to receive pioneering surgery.

Although she requires regular physiotherapy and visits a specialist in Scotland, the young Hammer has made impressive progress and now uses specially adapted sticks to build up her core muscles.
