First time in years I've felt my eyes sting at something Stoke related. Awful news. RIP Lucas.
Shared the donation link and minutes applause idea on SLP, hope you guys hit the £500 and Lucas gets the send off he deserves.

Can I thank all those who have left donations and all who have left messages of sympathy for Lucas and his family. The target £500 has been reached! It has 20 days left to run before close let's see how far we can lift it!
Sixth minute, shout his name and join his family and friends in remembering Lucas!
Thanks again!

I would just like to reassure anybody wanting to donate money to the fund raising site that it is totally secure and 100% of the money raised will be going to the cause the family nominate.
Total is now £585 and counting.
Thank you to those who have donated so far.

Horrible to hear and brought a tear to my eye. I find Twitter to be very quick in spreading the word for applauding so would encourage you all to keep posting and sharing if you get a moment.

As devastating as it is for all the family's this is only the first game and we are already applauding in the 6th 12th and 59th minutes.

I actually think we should make a point of making tributes such as these. We share the common bond and in a way are one big family (hence the endless petty bickering on here). I have family in Wootton Bassett and they would turn out whatever the weather to pay their respects to our returning fallen - irrespective of how recent the last one was. Respectfully, for me these tributes are more poignant than for ex players / managers in a way. RIP young Lucas. |

These are heart wrenching stories we are reading and if a minutes applause just lifts the spirits of all family's involved for a moment then surely that's the main thing here. Massive shout out aswell to the SLP lads for sharing this on Facebook and Twitter etc. let's give this little boy a huge shout out tomorrow |

If anyone is interested the father of the young lad Lucas has posted a very touching and brave message on SL&P entitled "Lucas Williams"
Please keep the donations coming, it's still rising and to think that there were doubts it would reach its target. The kindness of strangers is amazing!

Utterly unjust that there's some utter scum in the world who live long and healthy lives and then an innocent little lad and his family have to suffer this pain. My condolences  |

This is such sad news. My thoughts are with Lucas' family.
I've got a new dart board signed on the reverse by Tony O'Shea and Wayne Wardle that I'll happily sell/auction and give all the proceeds to this cause.
I don't want to hijack this page with it, so if anyone wants to make me an offer them please PM me.
RIP Lucas
Edit - I can provide pics of the board and post anywhere in the UK. I'll also provide proof that all the money went to the Royal Stoke

Tragic news. Just got back from vacation and opened this thread to see what it was about and it's really upsetting.
I will donate this evening.
Heartfelt condolences to the family. I have a son aged 7 and I couldn't begin to imagine how terrible this would be.
RIP

We are so sorry for your loss. We have four kids of our own and can't imagine the pain you are going through. We have made a small contribution. It won't help ease the sorrow that you must be feeling; however, I hope it helps with the expenses.
