HEARTWARMING Jack Grealish was reunited with a young superfan who gave her hero a thank you present in a touching moment.
The Manchester City playmaker, 26, left Abbie Pinder in tears of joy when he handed her a signed shirt back in February.

And the pair met again recently, with Pinder a special guest in Grealish’s private box at the Etihad for a City game.
Abbie, joined by her family, was sporting a new pair of trainers which were dedicated to Grealish.
And Britain’s most-expensive footballer showed his class as he checked in with her.
In a separate video, she hands over a small bag before Grealish reads the card and then opens the small gift box.
It is unclear exactly what the present was but clearly was inspired by his beloved TV show featuring Tommy Shelby and Co.
The England ace looked genuinely shocked and delighted as he exclaimed: “Aww. Let’s open it…
“Peaky Blinders!
“How do you know I like Peaky Blinders?”
That led to brilliant laughter from everyone inside the box, including both Abbie and Jack.
Grealish added: “Oh come here, thank you, thank you so much,” before giving Abbie a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
Jack then posed for photos with Pinder, who wrote on TikTok: “A moment I’ll never forget meeting my idol.
“I wasn’t going to post this but Jack’s dad said it was too lovely not to post.
“Here’s me giving my idol @jackgrealish a present to say thank you for what he has done for me and to say thank you for letting me go in his private box and meeting his family.”
Plenty of viewers on social media shared their appreciation and respect for Grealish’s classy gesture.
One said: “You have to respect and like the guy when you see stuff like this.
“It’ll mean the world to that lovely girl and everyone in that room and he’s all too happy to enjoy their company. Fair play Grealish.”
Another added: “No way he bothers doing this if it wasn’t genuine. Some players won’t even stop for an autograph.”
And a final user commented: “Makes me tear up. I love athletes who are willing to create moments like this for fans.
“The on-field stuff is fun and all, but this is where you really see someone’s heart.”
