West Brom banner set for Bradley Lowery in Millennium Corner
A compassionate Albion supporter has bought a banner for Bradley Lowery, a five-year-old terminally ill Sunderland fan who has captured the hearts of football fans.
Debbie Green, 54, from Birmingham, plans to raise the 11ftx3ft banner in Millennium Corner near the away end during the fifth minute of Saturday's match at The Hawthorns against the Black Cats.
She'll be collecting money for Bradley in buckets outside the ground, having already set up a JustGiving page him which has raised more than £350 in the first 24 hours.
"I know he's got his own page but that's for his treatment," she said. "I just thought we could raise some money for him to go on a spending spree for some toys."
The banner has an Albion crest at one end and a Sunderland crest at the other with a picture of Bradley and the words 'Cancer has no colours'.
The young Sunderland fan was diagnosed with neuroblastoma in 2013, and in December his family were told he only had 'months to live'.
He was a mascot at Everton's match with Manchester City because the Toffees gave £200,000 to his treatment fund last September when he was a mascot for Sunderland in their game.
Previously, City fans raised a banner in support of Bradley and now Debbie has decided to do the same.
Unfortunately, Bradley isn't able to attend the game because he's going into hospital this week.
Season ticket holder Debbie has been watching Albion for 50 years.
Last year, she raised more than £5,000 with a bucket collection for Chris Brunt's chosen charities after he was struck in the face with a coin.
