Cleckheaton crews’ heart-warming gesture to young football fan following car crash

    Firefighters teamed up with Huddersfield Town FC to give a young super fan a breakfast with a difference.

    Ten-year-old Mason Faulkner was treated to a trip to the Huddersfield Town FC training ground for a tour and to spend the morning with former player and club ambassador Andy Booth.

    Cleckheaton white watch and Technical Rescue Crews arranged for the experience after the young Huddersfield Town fan was left distraught when his football shirt had to be cut off following a car crash.

    The devout football fan was wearing his new Huddersfield Town FC shirt at the time of a horrific collision and told firefighters he did not want it damaging.

    However, once he reached hospital, staff unfortunately had to cut it away to treat his injuries – leaving the young fan devastated.

    When crews learnt that Mason’s shirt had been cut away at hospital they wanted to do something special for him and the family and so arranged his special day out.
