Video has emerged of a six-year-old boy getting excited as he receives surprise tickets for a Spurs match at Wembley.

The footage, captured at a home in London, shows the 6-year-old unfolding a Tottenham scarf and finding tickets to see his favourite football team.

''These tickets were gifted to us as my partner is currently undergoing treatment for aggressive breast cancer,'' the father later wrote online.

''His reaction gave us such a massive boost and it was wonderful to spend some quality time together as a family.''

''For a brief moment all of our cancer worries went away,'' he added.

The tickets were for Spurs' home match against Crystal Palace on November 5.
