'You were a fighter, a little fighter but with a huge heart. And you wore that heart on your sleeve throughout. 

'All I ever wanted in life from as young as I can remember was to make you proud and I know I must of got somewhere near to doing that.... because your chest was puffed out as big as anyone's whenever my name was mentioned or when you was in a stadium watching me play... I can just hear/see you now "what did you say, oh ok...that's my son...!!!"

Mrs St Fort died at Guy's Hospital on Thursday with her family around her

May her soul find eternal rest...
