Derry Felton is confined to a wheelchair, but that didn’t stop the Northampton Town fan from invading the field when his team scored an important goal against Rotherham in a League Two game in England.

After evading security, the 18-year-old found himself at the centre of attention when the crowd cleared and he was stuck on the half-way line at the Sixfields stadium without any cover.

Felton told The Sun: “I said to my mate If they score I will go on the pitch. But I didn’t believe that they would. Then they did and it was a bit of a blur really.

“I didn’t know what was happening and then I was in the middle of the pitch and I just thought how did I get here?”

This surprises me greatly. League Two has security?
