Clarets fans have dug deep to aid a fighting fund for a battling Burnley youngster who lost his legs to a rare form of meningitis.
Soccer-mad Joshua Ford, nine of Lisbon Drive, Burnley, and his family were the guests of honour at Turf Moor for the Stoke City game on Saturday.
The previous night an auction had been staged, for a piece of Clarets memorabilia, to contribute towards the £8,000 the youngster will need for new prosthetic legs, during a supporters' dinner to celebrate Burnley's 125th anniversary.
Josh was introduced to the crowd at half-time.
And a cash collection was staged outside the ground for the fund before and after the match.
