Nottingham Forest defender Cyrus Christie has shown his support for the terminally baby daughter of former footballer Ashley Cain.
The pair were both on the books of Coventry City before Cain moved down the leagues, playing for the likes of Mansfield Town and Tamworth.
He has since become a reality TV star, appearing in shows including Ex on the Beach and The Challenge.
The 30-year-old, who is from Nuneaton, has been beset by a heart-breaking family tragedy, after his eight-month old daughter Azaylia was diagnosed with leukaemia, which can no longer be treated.
Azaylia's predicament has received world wide attention as Cain and her mother Safiyya Vorajee keep people updated.
Christie sent his own message of support in the warm-up before Forest's game against Huddersfield Town on Saturday.
He wore a top which said 'Azaylia Cain you will win this battle. Keep believing' on the front, with hashtags including #prayforAzaylia on the back.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Panthers and Coventry Blaze will also show their support with a minute's stick tap before their Elite Series game at the Nottingham Arena this evening.
