England star Jack Grealish called Manchester City supporter Finlay on Tuesday to reflect on his goal celebration in the thumping win over Iran.
Grealish went viral on Monday afternoon by performing a unique dance move after tapping in England’s sixth goal in their 6-2 victory at the World Cup. After celebrating the goal and thanking fellow substitute Callum Wilson for the assist, the 27-year-old winger performed a little jig with his arms outstretched.
The celebration was in tribute to 11-year-old fan Finlay, who met Grealish earlier this year and asked him to perform the move when he next scored. Grealish has formed a bond with Finlay, who has cerebral palsy, like his younger sister Holly, and was only too happy to oblige.
