A DISABLED man’s family is trying to arrange the best 30th birthday they can for him.

Murray Bass, of Shoebury, was severely brain damaged after a car accident eight years ago. His family were warned he would not make his 30th birthday.

Although he needs 24-hour care, he is approaching the landmark birthday. His family are arranging special treats for him to mark the occasion. On Monday he was given VIP tickets to the West Ham vs Stoke City game and got to meet some of the players.
