Mum shares video of Bradley before Euro win
Bradley Lowery’s mum has shared a video of the young football fan saluting as England made it into the Euro 2020 quarter-finals.
In March 2017, Bradley touched the hearts of the nation as he led out the England team at Wembley for their World Cup qualifier against Lithuania by the side of ‘best friend’ Jermain Defoe OBE.
Tragically, the youngster lost his battle with neu rob la stoma months later on July 7 age just six years old.
As supporters across the country cheered the Three Lions historic victory against Germany, mum Gemma Lowery shared a short video of the then-five-year-old Bradley saluting in his full England strip.
Before the game, the Bradley Lowery Foundation Twitter
shared pictures of the youngster as England mascot and shared a message of support for Gareth Southgate’s team.
The post reads: “We want to wish England a huge GOOD LUCK for tonight's game against Germany!
“Bradley will be cheering you on for definite!”
The keen football fan, from
Blackhall, formed a close friendship with then-Sunderland AFC striker Defoe after the two met when Bradley acted as mascot at the Stadium of Light for his beloved Black Cats.
In the wake of Bradley’s death, his family channelled their grief into the creation of a charity in his name.
His lasting legacy, the Bradley
Lowery Foundation, has supported poorly children who face a range of challenges in fund-raising for treatment and equipment, developed a holiday home in Scarborough so families can make precious memories, and launched a support line for the parents of children with cancer.
