Jack Grealish fulfilled his promise to a young Manchester City fan with cerebral palsy by celebrating his goal for England against Iran at the World Cup by dancing.
Earlier this season, Grealish received a letter from Finlay, who suffers with cerebral palsy and is a huge City fan.
Finlay wrote to Grealish explaining how the midfielder is his favourite player for his actions on and off the pitch.
Grealish’s sister, Holly, has cerebral palsy and Finlay loves the way the City midfielder involves her in everything he does.
After receiving his letter from Finlay, Grealish wrote back to the 11-year-old and sent him a signed shirt too.
The England star then surprised the youngster at the City Football Academy, where Finlay plays every Monday as part of the disability football team.
Upon meeting, the pair hugged and Finlay asked Grealish if he would celebrate his next goal by doing ‘the worm’.
Grealish said he couldn’t do that, joking he can’t even do it and he could get injured, but the midfielder did promise to dance.
And, true to his word, after finding the net against Iran on Monday night as England won their World Cup opener 6-2, Grealish recreated the dance he promised Finlay he’d do.
