Poor little boy dying but football / sunderland is his life, gets to meet his idols and falls asleep in Defoe's arms.

Heartbreaking story but fair play to Sunderland and Everton for involvement with this little boy, such a brave little man, we're all thinking of you Bradley.

Total respect to Sunderland for their support for the little man and his family.

I think this is the lad who wanted cards and my son sent him a CCFC one.

Let us hope that something can be done for the boy - miracles do happen

In an age when the game is awash with money and played by young men who seem to lose touch with reality this is a heartwarming story, I think Defoe will be a better man for the experience. Poor wee boy, life really is shite sometimes.

Footballers need to realise that people like Bradley idolise them to different hypes, they talk about them to their mates and family.. have posters of them in their room and get their name on the back of their shirt and it is great to see Defoe, Sunderland and Everton for keeping in contact with Bradley and always try to arrange things for him and his family for when they can.

This is a very sad story but it's great like what Annis said Football can do because this boy continues to smile and fight.

well said

Fantastic picture. Big respect to Defoe and hopefully a miracle can happen and the young lad lives too tell the tail.

That picture is heart breaking.

We don't realise how lucky we are sometimes. Makes me shudder how it works out for some
