England star Jack Grealish celebrated in style after his World Cup goal against Iran in their 6-2 victory, and it was dedicated to an 11-year-old boy called Finlay.
The Manchester City man received a heart-warming letter from Finlay in the run-up to the World Cup, and it detailed youngster's appreciation for how good Grealish is with his sister. Like Finlay, she too has cerebral palsy - a lifelong condition which effects movement and co-ordination.
Finlay explained in the letter that he "wished there were more people in the world just like you that treat people with disabilities the same as anyone else. It makes me really happy when I see you, a famous footballer, knowing what it's like to live with people with cerebral palsy".

The youngster also said how he would love to meet his idol and give him a high five, because he can't do handshakes. The pair met up after Grealish read the letter, and Finlay wanted to him to do the worm celebration next time the England man scored a goal. The 27-year-old wasn't having that, and joked he would "get injured". So the pair settled on the waving arms celebration instead.
As it turned out, the winger's next goal came in the World Cup against Iran, the ultimate occasion. Grealish kept his promise and celebrated England's sixth goal in Finlay fashion.
England face USA in their second match of Group B on Friday, November 25.
