A Cardiff dad has responded to the "overwhelming" reaction he's received on social media after sharing a video showing football fans singing with his son ahead of Wales' game on Saturday. Mike Hancock had always dreamed of taking his 10-year-old son Joe to his first Wales football match at Cardiff City Stadium.
Joe was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) when he was four, which is a genetic condition that causes tumours to grow on the nerve. The young football fan is currently undergoing his third round of chemotherapy for a brain tumour and often becomes tired due to his condition. This has meant that Joe has missed out on a few international football matches over the years as they frequently take place in the evenings and during the week.
But with Wales' recent game taking place on a Saturday afternoon the father and son were in luck and got to see Robert Page's men equalise with Belgium in a dramatic head-to-head. A few hours prior to the game however Mike decided to take Joe to his favourite place before any football match, which was Womanby Street. Amid the celebration and chanting a group of men noticed Joe and helped him with his singing. A video documenting the special moment has taken social media by storm.
