Manchester City winger Jack Grealish's friendship with young superfan Finlay Fisher has touched the hearts of football fans around the world
The former Aston Villa winger arrived at Manchester City in a then-British record £100million move in 2021 and after a difficult first season at the Etihad, the England international truly found his feet during the club's historic treble-winning campaign last year. Playing a total of 50 games for his club across all competitions, Grealish chipped in with five goals and 11 assists as he became an integral part of Pep Guardiola's side.
The lovely note continued: "I wish there were more people in the world just like you who treat people with disabilities the same as anyone else. It makes me really happy when I see you, a famous footballer, know what it's like to live with people with cerebral palsy." The youngster has now opened up on his own struggles on the football pitch, his friendship with Grealish and the confidence he has gained from playing football with the club's City in the Community’s One City Disability Programme, which has been running for more than 10 years.
