Young Peter Fidler sadly passed away on New Year's Eve after a hard-fought battle with cancer. Everton will celebrate his memory by playing a song written by the teenager on Saturday when they play against West Ham United at Goodison Park.
The West Derby youngster was only 18, and was intensely passionate about two things - music and Everton. His parents David and Kath are looking to raise money for the charity Teenage Cancer Trust by bringing those two passions together.
One of Peter's songs, "Yesterday", will be played at Goodison during half-time on Saturday, and fans are being asked to make a donation to the cancer charity that helped during the three years of his treatment.
Dad David said:
"This means absolutely everything to us. The idea that Pete is going to be performing in front of 30-odd thousand at Goodison Park, he'll be laughing, he'll be having a blast. He's still with us, looking down and he will enjoy the day, that's for certain."
Here is the rest of the interview with David -
