The World Cup in Qatar has generated a lot of controversy. However, one admirable moment attracted the world’s notice.
Jack Grealish promised to “do the worm” and dedicate a goal to an 11-year-old Manchester City fan with cerebral palsy. The two connected after the football player pledged to do the celebratory motion in a letter to Finlay, who shares the same condition as Grealish’s sister and has cerebral palsy.
The 27-year-old kept his word and carried out that promise during England’s 6-2 triumph
Grealish’s celebration had a special emotional significance, according to BBC pundit Gary Lineker: “That celebration was promised to a little fan named Finlay who has cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy also affects Jack’s sibling.
Later, when Finley FaceTimed him and said, “I thought you’d forgotten,” Grealish replied, “You were always at the back of my mind, mate.”
