Bolton Wanderers' Dapo Afolayan pays tribute to young West Ham United fan who lost cancer battle

Dapo Afolayan dedicated a 'special' Bolton Wanderers goal celebration against Sunderland to the memory of a young West Ham United fan who passed away from a rare childhood cancer.

Isla Caton sadly passed away on Tuesday (January 25) with high-risk neuroblastoma which she was first diagnosed with aged just two-years-old and whose funeral took place on Friday morning.

Isla was a big West Ham fan, the club where Afolayan joined Wanderers from last January, initally on loan before making the move permanent last summer.
