St. Mirren Fans Vote Academy 6-Year-Old Cancer Fighter as Player of the Year

It's been a fairly forgettable campaign on the pitch for Scottish Premiership side St. Mirren. 

The club currently are languishing at the bottom of the Scottish top flight, and it's near inevitable that The Buddies will drop into the Scottish Championship.

As their season winds down, though, the club and its fans have done a wonderful gesture for a six-year-old academy player. 

Aaron Woodall, who was diagnosed with cancer in late 2014, is currently recovering after having a brain tumour removed. 

He's now been voted as the club's Player of the Year. 

Per St. Mirren fan site Black and White Army, the logic was explained: "Aaron's strength and courage has been an inspiration to all of us, and a timely reminder of things around us that are much more important than football." 

As a result, the youngster will receive a signed shirt from the club's 2013 Scottish League Cup-winning side.
