Jack Grealish did his celebration like a dream.

The boy who inspired Jack Grealish's goal celebration said it was the best thing he had ever seen.

Grealish scored England's sixth goal as they thrashed Iran in their World Cup opener.

The Manchester City forward promised to do a dance for a boy with cerebral palsy after scoring a goal.

After the match, Grealish said, "That was for you."

After receiving a touching letter from a child, the footballer met the youngster, who is from Manchester.

It's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I adore you Grealish.

He is my favorite person.

Jack Grealish has scored six goals for England.

The son of a Manchester United supporter said he only just got home to watch the game.

He went to A&E after he injured his leg.

I got back 10 minutes before the start of the game.

He said when Grealish scored he was jumping around or trying to jump, but he didn't think he would do the special dance.

I thought he wouldn't remember, but he did.

I was overjoyed when he did it.
