Young Wigan fan receives football tickets in birthday present surprise

This young Wigan Athletic fan was over the moon when his sister surprised him with football tickets for his birthday.

The footage, captured on April 7 in Wigan, shows 10-year-old Thomas Hurst getting extremely excited when he realises he is going to see his beloved team.

The sister later writes: ''I think I hid the surprise well, hence his face.

''Thomas was well made up with the win, especially the hat-trick hero Will Grigg.''
