A proud Kettering dad watched his son walk out as Luton Town FC’s mascot on Saturday (July 30), knowing it could be the last match they watch together.
Cancer sufferer Mat Westwood, 35, has been given just six months to live. However, he is determined to make the most of every minute he has left with his wife Liz, 33, and their boys Alfie, 13, and three-year-old Jack.
After arranging for Alfie to be a mascot at his beloved Luton’s game against Birmingham City, Mat and his son were invited to training at the club last Friday (July 29).
He told how he and Alfie had an “amazing morning” meeting players such as Henri Lansbury, Tom Lockyer and Harry Cornick. They also got to hang out with manager Nathan Jones, and club legend Mick Harford, who is now Luton’s recruitment officer.
