NSVL Rookie Tom Walton-Davis has proved himself a star player after scoring a winning goal and being named Man of the Match in a crucial game for his mini-soccer football team, North Shields Lions.

It's a fantastic achievement for nine-year-old Tom, who has suffered from cerebral palsy since birth and constantly faces with difficulties when performing everyday tasks such as writing or doing up his buttons.

Congratulations to Tom from everyone at NSVL!
