I didn't know him or his story to be honest but it does leave a tear in your eye
I was watching the news last night and there was this 5 year old lad with a rare cancer, he loved Lewis Hamilton, who duly obliged with a load of freebies from Mercedes and a video message that was genuinely heartfelt. To cap it off the day after (Monday) Mercedes rocked up to his house with Lewis' winning car for his family for the day, to take pictures and give the little man a boost. I'm writing this and I have to say I feel really emotional and sad about the above, tonight is massively important and a win would please many, but in the grand scheme it's just a game. I am going tonight and hope for a rocking atmosphere, a fine performance and the Baggies to prevail, but in my heart I will think of and say a few words for the two above, stories like this make it real, football just pales in situations like this, RIP Jim and good luck to the little man!!
