Young Oscar Cridge's dream finally came true as he got to walk on Bristol Rovers' pitch ahead of their epic promotion winning match against Scunthorpe United at the weekend.
The five-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, desperately wanted to lead his beloved team at the Memorial Stadium without aid for the first time since his life-changing surgery in January.
Rovers said on social media: "Oscar was our lucky charm!" and retweeted the tear-jerking moment to thousands of followers having believed the football-mad youngster was the cause of their good fortune.
