'For you Finlay': Jack Grealish keeps promise to young fan with goal celebration at World Cup

England footballer Jack Grealish has kept his promise to a young fan by doing a special celebratory dance after scoring his first World Cup goal.

Finlay, who has cerebral palsy, had written to his favourite player earlier this year and referenced the Manchester City star's close bond with his sister, who also has the condition. "I wish there were more people in the world just like you who treat people with disabilities the same as anyone else," the 11-year-old wrote.TwitterGrealish followed up with a letter of his own and also made a surprise visit to meet Finlay in person at a football session run by the City In the Community programme.

It was there that he pledged to dedicate his next goal to Finlay, who initially suggested the more challenging dance move"the worm" before settling on a more simple arm gesture. "First of all I've got to try and score, then I'll do it for you, but I've only scored once this season," Grealish said, in a video captured by the Premier League.

This is the stuff we should be reading about, not rainbow bucket hats and arm bands.
