Chelsea captain John Terry has paid for the funeral of an eight-year-old Blues fan, who recently died from leukaemia, reports BBC News.

The former England captain donated £1,600 to the family of Tommi Miller, who he met last year.

He told the Cambridge News he was "totally devastated" to hear he had died.

Tommi's mother Ruth Miller said she was "overwhelmed" by the gesture and is also planning to buy a "special headstone" with the money.

She said the family, who live in Thorpe Way, Cambridge, were "very proud" the footballer remembered him.
