Lone soccer supporter singing for his team deserves some kind of award

What a hero.

It may have been Shakespeare who once said that it's the empty vessel that makes the loudest sound. He was wrong about that, though.

The source of the loudest sound is quite clearly this guy:

That video was shot Saturday at a football match between Witham Town FC and Grays Athletic FC.

We're not sure if it's that lone Witham FC supporter's relentless enthusiasm or the way he gleefully twirls his scarf around, but there's something undeniably heartwarming about it.

Well, the bad news is that despite the impressive support, Witham Town FC ended up losing 4-1.

But the good news is the man in that clip -- James Beardwell -- got a nice moment with the players at the end.

Never stop singing, James.
