This is the heartwarming moment a 90-year-old dementia sufferer fulfilled a lifetime ambition by scoring a goal at his beloved club - in front of 25,000 football fans. Frank Coulson has been watching Sheffield United for 80 years and on Saturday (27 Oct) home fans cheered as he walked on to the turf at Bramall Lane. Sprightly Frank sent the crowd in hysterics when he side-footed the ball into the net in front of the roaring home stand, where he used to sit as a boy. Frank's dream, to play for his boyhood club, became a reality following a make-a-wish scheme run by the dementia care home he lives in.
