Robert Snodgrass gives cancer-stricken football fan VIP treatment ahead of dying man's last match

Footballer Robert Snodgrass made sure a dying football was given the VIP treatment ahead of his final match. The ex-Scotland star also donated memorabilia to cancer-stricken Luton Town supporter Mat Westwood.

Mat, 35, was a guest of honour at the English Championship club’s first home match of the season against Birmingham City. Glasgow-born Snodgrass, 34, arranged for Mat and his family to attend Kenilworth Road last Saturday.

His son Alfie, 13, was the team mascot as Mat and his partner Lizzie watched from the stand. The midfielder, 34, contacted Mat after discovering the Hatters fan was given just six months to live.
