Father of Belfast boy who was Manchester United's first wheelchair mascot 'so proud'

A Belfast dad whose son made history at the weekend by becoming Manchester United's first ever wheelchair mascot says he's never been more proud.

Terence Moore's 7-year-old son Bobby was invited to join Bruno Fernandes in leading out the team at the derby match against Manchester City last weekend.

Before that, Bobby met his heroes at a training session in Carrington ahead of the Manchester derby.

Mr Moore said it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

He told Newstalk: "We obviously knew he was going to Manchester, but we didn't know he was going to be a mascot until the week before. When the guys came over, they told us in person, they didn't want to tell us over a text message.

"Bruno was the one who broke the news to him, when they told me I just burst into tears."
