The incredible gesture from Harry Kane and Tottenham fans for dancing supporter Ella Markham

Tottenham Hotspur have a new hero in their ranks, and no, it's not one of Mauricio Pochettino's squad.

Ella Markham was filmed having the time of her life as she danced to a live band at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following the 1-0 defeat to West Ham last weekend.

Unfortunately, the 16-year-old was shamelessly trolled online after footage of the Down's Syndrome sufferer's dance moves were shared on social media.

However, the football world has since come together in support of Ella, who also received a personal message from her Spurs hero, Harry Kane.

In a video message shared online, the Spurs skipper invited Ella to attend the club's final home game of the season against Everton where she will lead the team out as mascot

His message can be seen below:

He said: "'Hi Ella, I've seen the video of you dancing at the Spurs game. I just want to thank you for your amazing support. I loved it.

"We'd love you to come down and be the mascot for the last game of the season against Everton. Hope to see you there. Keep dancing, keep doing what you are doing. Lots of love."

However the support of the Spurs faithful hasn't stopped there, with one fan group calling on their fellow supporters to sing Ella Markham's name to the tune of 'he's one of our own' as she leads the team to field.
