St Mirren: Six-year-old boy voted club's player of year by fans
St Mirren fans have voted a six-year-old academy prospect as their player of the year - in recognition of his ongoing battle against cancer.

Aaron Woodall is currently undergoing four courses of chemotherapy having already had radiotherapy and an operation to remove a brain tumour.

Almost 500 fans voted in the poll on the blackandwhitearmy.comwebsite.

"Aaron's strength and courage has been an inspiration to all of us," a statement read.

It added that his battle was "a timely reminder of things around us that are much more important than football".

The youngster was mascot for the club's game against Motherwell on 20 December, hours after being released from hospital following surgery the previous month.

"We will be in touch with the club shortly to arrange to hand over our coveted trophy to this fine young man," the statement added.

"Congratulations, Aaron, and all the very best with your continued recovery."

St Mirren's first team are one defeat way from relegation in the Scottish Premiership.

The first-team player earning the most votes was midfielder Kenny McLean, who was sold to Aberdeen in January.

Defender Jim Goodwin earned the most votes among players still with the Paisley club.
 

to be fair to the kid, he probably IS the best player at the club.


Scottish football. lol lol lol lol
 
Great story, but what a weird ending.

Yeah. It basically made out that the only reason they voted for the kid was because the rest of the team are rubbish.

Which may well be the case, but it was a little out of place at the end of a heartwarming little story.
 

We had this from Celtic not too long ago as well.

Bit weird when Samaras says he loves him at the end, but still.
