The pair met last November when 11-year-old Finlay was surprised by the England international at the CFA.
Finlay, like Jack’s sister, Holly, has cerebral palsy and he’s been hugely impressed by the way Jack involves her in everything he does.
Finlay sent Jack a letter to express his gratitude, writing: “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 that you, a famous footballer, knows what it’s like to live with people with cerebral palsy.
“You’re my hero and the best big brother to your sister.”
After initially writing back and sending him a signed City shirt, featuring ‘Grealish 10’, our star winger also decided to head over to the CFA where Finlay plays every Monday as part of the disability football team.
At that point, Grealish asked Finlay to suggest how he should celebrate his next goal. With Finlay watching at home, our man found the net against Iran in the World Cup and immediately waved his arms as suggested.
Now UEFA have produced a film that gives five disabled players, fans and referees the opportunity to explain in their own words what football means to them and where it can take steps to ensure everyone has access to play, watch and enjoy the game.

As well as Grealish, fellow professionals Sergio Canales and Nicolo Barella also provide their perspective on football’s important role in supporting people with disabilities.
