The family of an incredibly brave young man, thirteen year old Zach Little, have asked the Fulham family to come together to remember their young son in the thirteenth minute of this afternoon’s game against Ipswich Town.
Zach was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive form leukaemia in February 2022, aged ten, and sadly lost his battle against the dreadful disease last month. Zach was a season ticket holder in the Johnny Haynes Stand alongside his family and the loss of such a bright and brave boy is particularly keenly felt by supporters in that stand – as well as by the players and officials at Fulham Football Club.
Along with all the other Fulham fans’ sites, blogs and social media accounts, we ask that supporters pay tribute to Zach during the thirteenth minute of this afternoon’s fixture with a minute’s applause. The club have agreed to the family’s request and will display Zach’s picture on the scoreboard and screens around the ground, but we want this to be a truly heartfelt recognition of a young man’s brilliant bravery.
I am sure that Hammyend readers will also want to donate to the Zach Little Memorial Fund in his memory.
Zach Little, R I P
My thoughts go to the family of Zach and all of his friends. I know how you all must be feeling-and I say that with the utmost seriousness because I lost my daughter to the same disease when she was eight.
Best,
Dan
My condolences on your own loss, Dan. Your brave daughter is in all our thoughts I’m sure.
