Jack Grealish's England goal celebration was promise to young boy with cerebral palsy

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".
