Football fans pray for boy's dream to come true after devastating diagnosis

Football fans are all praying for a young boy's dream to come true after he was given just a year to live.

Six-year-old, Jayden Lamerton has been given just 12 months to live after his teachers noticed a worrying change to his eye. Jayden, who has "always supported Liverpool", was taken to the Royal Eye Infirmary in Plymouth in December last year, as "his eye had suddenly turned inwards".
