Young Tottenham Fan Who Lost His Limbs Plays 1st Official Game of Football

It's nothing short of a miracle that eight-year-old Tottenham fan Marshall Janson is still alive. 

He lost all of his limbs to meningitis not long after he was born, but with the help of the likes of Harry Kane, he's learned how to play his beloved sport with prosthetic limbs. 

Over the weekend, the youngster played his first official game of football.

His mother, Stephanie Janson, told the West Briton that the support Tottenham have shown him and a trip late last season to White Hart Lane have worked wonders for him:

"

It completely boosted his confidence. he has been wearing his new legs every day and the experience with Tottenham really helped boost his self-esteem and confidence 100 per cent.

That's exactly what we wanted, which was lovely. He's a lot happier now. People have been so overwhelming. They wanted him to feel like he was having his own game.

They made him feel extremely special and never been able to play a match before. 

He was ecstatic that they won. He absolutely loved it and was excited from the minute he got up and did not stop playing football on the day. 

It was the first match he has ever been involved in. It all came from his experience with Tottenham and was something he would never have been able to do before. 

The Tottenham game made him feel really included, which is all he has ever wanted. He just wants to feel as normal as possible. 

"

It's moments like these that make fans remember why they love football in the first place.
