Espanyol fans yesterday

[WycombeToffee]

It has been touched upon in the match thread, but this was the most heartwarming thing I've ever seen at a football game so I thought it needed its own thread. The little boy waved at the Espanyol fans as he went past, and they applauded him in return, and sang to him. One of the Spanish guys then threw him a scarf. I'm sure he'll remember that forever.
