Fans for the memories

A 92-YEAR-OLD football fan who is losing her eyesight was moved to tears when she was invited to stand at the side of the pitch to hear her club's famous anthem.

Nottingham Forest fanatic Vera Hill gave up her season ticket in 2012 when her eyesight began to deteriorate.

But her family arranged for her to visit the City Ground on Saturday to hear the Forest fans' rendition of Mull of Kintyre.

Video footage of Vera standing at the side of the pitch with her grandson has been viewed 8 million times online. And the Premier League strugglers rewarded her with a 2-0 win over West Ham.

Vera said: "My daughter and son-inlaw told me we were going out for the afternoon, so I thought we were going for a meal. I never dreamed we would be going back to Forest.
