Harry Kane has invited a girl to be a mascot at Tottenham’s final match of the season after she was abused online by horrible trolls.
Ella Markham, 16, became the target of vile abuse when her father, Neil, posted a video of her dancing after Spurs’ defeat by West Ham.
Mr Markham shared the heartwarming video on Twitter with the caption, ‘The result is never the most important thing’ – but it wasn’t long before trolls invaded the replies.
