    Mods, I hope you'll allow this.

    So many football fans will be aware of Jack, a huge Man Utd fan who touched just about every soccer player and fan over the last year. His mother was keeping everyone updated with his condition as he battled with terminal cancer and a brain tumour. Jack Wiltshire was really affected by him and did a lot to make his final days special.

    Jack died today.

    Here is the tweet by his mom.
    At 11am this morning (Thursday 13th October) the world changed forever. Covered in his beloved Man Utd blanket and snuggled in Tracey’s arms, Jack decided that in true Manchester United fashion “He’d do what he wants” for the final time and passed away peacefully with us, his family, at his side. He is now laid on his bed at our side, dressed in his Man Utd kit, with Snowman and Meerkat laying with him. We are all devastated, but take comfort in the fact that Jack lived life to the full right up to the very end. We are so very proud of Jack and the way he dealt with his disease, with a smile and a glint in his eye. Thank you, everyone of #jacksarmy for all your help and support so far. #RIPJackamoWELOVEYOUxx

    I put a quick video together - you can guess that I followed him closely always hoping that he'd win the fight. Really affected by his passing and hope that he's remembered across all the stadiums this weekend.
