Raheem Sterling and Kieran Trippier showed their classy nature by performing a kind gesture for a reporter at the World Cup.
Carrie Brown of beIN Sports has recalled the heartwarming story of the England duo taking time to speak to her parents, who both sadly have dementia, and care home staff following the Three Lions' opening 6-2 victory over Iran. After England's campaign ended on Saturday following a narrow 2-1 defeat to holders France, Brown was asked to recount any personal tales from covering Gareth Southgate 's side in Qatar.
"I've got a sweet personal moment that will really stick with me," the seasoned reporter began. "I think people ask me about the special relationship that this [England] team have and how they're a real family. My parents have dementia and there's only one hour of the day that I can ever get them on a Zoom call because the care home can only have the time to get that to them when they're really quite with it.
