WORLD CUP 2022: SQUAD

Jack made lad’s day

- BY STEPHEN WHITE

AN 11-year-old boy with cerebral palsy says seeing Jack Grealish do his “worm” celebratio­n was a dream come true.

The midfielder met Finlay Fisher at a Manchester City community event last week and promised him he would do the move if he scored in Qatar.

Finlay has been playing football with other disabled children through

Manchester City’s initiative, City in the Community. He bonded with Grealish, whose sister has cerebral palsy. After scoring England’s final goal in the 6-2 victory over Iran on Monday, Grealish did the arm move inspired by Finlay before blowing a kiss. Speaking alongside his father Dan Fisher, Finlay said: “When he did it, I was like: ‘Oh my God, he’s done the worm.’ It feels like a dream come true. “I can’t say how happy I am.”
