Sorry for my ignorance, who is Bradley?

Won Match of the Days December goal of the month.

In hospital having treatment for a Typre of terminal cancer but my word he is fighting. Fell asleep for a nap today cuddling Jermain Defoe.

Haway Brad, keep fighting.

The possibility of leading a team out at Wembley may just give him even more strength to keep fighting.

Thanks for the info and I couldn't agree more.

I think this would be a fantastic thing to do. Can the likes of CJ contact someone at the club, if the young lad is up to it? God bless him.

I'll make a call in the morning.

Very good, and good luck to the lad.

However I'm sure we have a similar local child whose family aren't quite as good as social media and is just as deserving.

(I don't know of anyone but statistically there must be, let's find him/her and give them the day of their life.)

Or even a group of these children.

To close those ties further we could get him to lead us out in his Sunderland kit rather than a Cov one, but he must have Jimmy Hill and the number 87 on his back.

Goid luck Brad.

This should definitely happen. Saw a pic of him asleep cuddling Defoe in his hospital bed on Twitter today.

Such a brave little boy.

It does seem harsh to say it and I know it's been getting loads of media attention but the more I think about it the more I am sure there will be poorly kids in Walsgrave.

Bradley is getting to spend loads of time with his heroes and players like Defoe have made bonds and it is great that he is happy but I can't help but think there will be poorly young city fans out there that we don't hear about who can lead the team out.

That's not to say Bradley isn't a great cause and it is difficult to put it into words without it sounding harsh.

Nick is correct there will be kiddies locally in a similar position to young Bradley where do you stop ?
These stories are heart rendering to say the least but unfortunately not isolated.

Why would a sunderland fan walk out in front of a Sky Blue team? Would you walk out in front of Villa? Didnt see nicks post before i posted but spot on.

Because that boy should be given the moon on a stick if he wants it. I take the point that there may be city fans in a similar position, but if the little man is up for it. I hope someone can make it happen.

Well yep.

Needs exploring first.

Would be heartbreaking for a little kid here, a Sky Blues supporter, watching the game on TV and seeing a little Sunderland kid walking out at Wembley instead of him or her.

Need to enquire as to if there is anyone local going through a similar horrible experience who would have their day made by walking out at Wembley stadium first.

The whole idea of #CancerHasNoColours thing is amazing! Not often does something bring football fans o close together!

A member of staff at the club is already aware, although that's only through a FB tag, so not sure if anything has began towards it being considered, or if anything will come of it, but I'd welcome it!

Following his story online is very moving.

What better way to show the sort of club we are despite our owners than having Bradley, a Sunderland fan - one of our less 'friendly rivalry' teams - and several Coventry kids going through a similar devastating fight, leading us out at Wembley in front of 40,000 of some of the best fans in the country? Is that not what we all want to be, show and what an event like this should be doing and bringing together? SBITC can work on this - no need to involve our detached 'hierarchy'.

Have to agree. I think everybody here has deep sympathy and condolences for Bradley but this day is about Coventry City and if we have a young fan going through a similar experience then they should be given the opportunity instead.
