Last Friday, Hatters forward Jacob Brown welcomed his biggest fan - Yorkshire schoolboy Jack, who lives with an inherited bone disorder - to watch training and meet our squad at The Brache.

Ten-year-old Jack has followed our Scotland international since he first carried him out onto the pitch before a Barnsley match, to his next club Stoke City and now down to Bedfordshire.

Here Jacob takes up the story and explains why he is launching a fundraising drive for the medical team that have treated Jack since he was a baby.

"Back in 2019, I met Jack - a 6 year old boy who, despite facing challenges since birth, had the biggest smile, greatest outlook on life and has been my inspiration ever since," says Jacob.

"Jack was diagnosed with Osteogenesis Imperfecta when he was born, which meant that his bones were extremely fragile and were susceptible to breaking very easily. The Metabolic Bone Team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital have treated Jack since he was 6 weeks old, providing paediatric wheelchairs and working with his family and school to provide the correct support.

"To give something back to the team that have helped Jack throughout his life and to raise more awareness of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, I have organised a charity raffle, in which various players I have played with or worked with over the years have donated signed shirts.

"All of the money raised will go to the Metabolic Bone Team at Sheffield Children’s Hospital, to help provide more treatment and equipment for Jack and other children who are in similar positions.

"Any donation will be extremely generous and hugely appreciated."

To enter the raffle and be in with a chance of winning a signed item, which includes Jacob's Luton and Scotland shirts, as well as others signed by his club and international team-mates past and present, please click HERE.
