Travis Hackett is an inspiration to us all.

Today he is watching tonights Leicester City v Sunderland match… just like the rest of us, but the thing is , Travis isnt the same as the rest of us. He is made of the Right Stuff.

He isnt getting on the 108 bus, he isnt coming to the King Power in a car, Travis has had to come from San Diego USA to watch the match, and trust us, that was the EASY bit !

100%LCFC Alex Smith, took Travis and his family, to our pals at Peter’s Pizzeria in Leicester and after they had scoffed some pizza, chatted all things LCFC with him…. watch it here :

Travis, a soccer player—and die-hard LCFC Foxes fan—was diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia in 2014. Travis’s father, Tim, shared that his son used the family’s newfound love for the recently-promoted Leicester City Football Club as his inspiration to fight for survival. Although, LCFC shocked the English Premier League by beating Manchester United 5-3 in a record-setting comeback, they headed into a streak of 13 games without a win.

Travis’s diagnosis came in the early part of that winless streak and he equated their plight with his. By the end of that Premier League season, Travis was cancer-free and the LCFC Foxes dodged elimination by winning seven of their final nine matches. Today, Travis is still considered a cancer patient in maintenance, but like his amazing Foxes who shocked the soccer world by placing first in the English Premier League, Travis is back on top of his game.
