An England supporter praised Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish on Instagram for giving his boots to his son after last night’s Euro 2020 final defeat.
Even though the Three Lions suffered a gut-wrenching ending to their European Championship campaign, Villa’s expert ball-carrier took his time out to share an ‘amazing’ moment with a young fan.
Super_ollyt posted on his Instagram account that Grealish ‘took time with photos’ with his son, Oliver, and then asked whether he wanted his boots.
The young England fan’s dad, Dan, labelled the Villa superstar as a ‘class act’, both on and off the field.
Here is the brilliant video of Grealish taking a photo and giving his match-worn boots to a young fan after England’s Euro 2020 final defeat to Italy:
For Villa supporters, they won’t be surprised by Grealish’s actions because he has shown this sort of care towards young fans throughout his career.
Every England supporter up and down the land, including those at Wembley yesterday and the players, would have been utterly heartbroken at losing the penalty shootout.
But Grealish did his best to put a smile on one young fan’s face and it’s a moment he will no doubt remember for the rest of his life.
Not forgetting that those boots might have some serious value in many years to come, especially if Grealish’s career continues to rise.
