This heartwarming video showing a Sheffield Wednesday-mad Army veteran with MND breaking down in tears of joy after their dramatic Wembley play-off final triumph has gone viral. Former Sergeant Major Simon Ransom grew up on the Winn Gardens estate in Middlewood, a stone’s throw from Hillsborough Stadium, and had a distinguished career in the Army, which included tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. The video, which Josh said showed how ‘football is more than just a game’, has been viewed more than 10,000 times. It was an amazing day for Simon and the rest of the family, with an incredible ending. My cousin said the staff at Wembley were second to none, too, with everything they did to help.”Former Sergeant Major Simon Ransom celebrating Sheffield Wednesday's dramatic play-off victory with family and fellow fansFormer Sergeant Major Simon Ransom, who has motor neurone disease, at Wembley, where he watched celebrating Sheffield Wednesday's dramatic play-off victory with his family
