Leeds United fans plan tribute to Toby Nye at Elland Road
The club has supported Whites fan Toby since he was diagnosed with the rare cancer neuroblastoma at the age of four, and his family revealed early this year that he was in remission following pioneering antibody treatment.
But this week Toby's mum shared the devastating news that the youngster now has a brain tumour thought to be the size of a golf ball, and will soon begin a course of chemotherapy.
