- By DEBORAH HALL

A YOUNG Hull KR fan received a once-in-a-lifetime surprise when his favourite player turned up at his doorstep with the Challenge Cup trophy.

James Macaulay, 23, a lifelong supporter of the Robins, was treated to a special visit from Mikey Lewis, who is James's favourite player.

Mikey arrived at James's home not only to say hello, but also to personally bring him the Challenge Cup trophy, following Hull KR’s historic victory against Warrington Wolves at Wembley in June.

James, who has cerebral brain damage and is autistic, struggles to go and see the Hull KR games in person due to his conditions.

He was amazed by the experience as he “loves everything about rugby and Hull KR”, he said.
