Keen snapper Dylan Lombard's condition affects just 15 people worldwide
A teenage photographer who shares a rare syndrome with just 14 other people in the world was overjoyed to spend a day snapping Everton FC’s win over Arsenal and meeting the players. Dylan Lombard, from Glasgow, was a special guest of the club earlier this month.
Dylan - who is autistic and has an exceptionally rare syndrome known as MDP, mandibular dysplasia with deafness and progeroid features - capped his memorable day by meeting Everton’s players following the game. “He’d show us these pictures, which were incredible and it became a way for Dylan to show us how he sees the world, in many ways. It all grew from there and now he goes to college to study photography.
“We just had an amazing day. We received an offer from the club’s accessibility team and I can’t thank them and the fan engagement team’s praises enough, because what they did for Dylan was out of this world.
