The fundraiser, the first blind person in the world to have completed seven marathons in seven days on seven continents, received his OBE at a special ceremony last month.

And the West Brom fan was invited to show supporters his medal at Saturday's Sky Bet Championship match between Albion and Peterborough United, which ended 3-0 to the Baggies.

Dave is now focused on his latest challenge in April, which is escaping from the notorious former Nazi prison camp Colditz in Germany and cycling back to The Hawthorns.
