In an act incongruous with the fact he is currently serving a six-match ban for gouging Diego Costa's eye, Moussa Dembele invited a disable young fan to take part in Spurs' half-time warm-up. Eight-year-old Marshall suffered from meningitis as a baby, and as a result lost an arm and both of his legs. He is Tottenham's guest of honour this afternoon against Southampton, and as a result was allowed to have a kick-around with his heroes. Have a watch, it is fantastic:

The response of the Spurs fans was fantastic:
The WHL crowd responded with 'Sign him up, sign him up!' and 'We love you Marshall, we do' #COYS #TogetherTHFC

Tottenham fans in the crowd were pictured in tears on Sky Sports. Superb.
