Ahmad’s real joy

LIKE millions of other Spurs fans, i was dancing deliriously after Lucas Moura scored the winning goal in the 96th minute of extra time to send the team into the Champions League final.

Social media was awash with videos of kids dancing around their living rooms. The next day, the BBC ran a clip of a five-year- old Afghan boy dancing with joy, and i assumed he was also a Tottenham supporter.

it turned out Ahmad had lost his leg in the war at eight months old and was celebrating his new prosthetic limb.

rather puts things in perspective.
