The incident took place as Chelsea players and their families gathered on the pitch to hear footballer Paulo Ferreira’s farewell speech. But even Ferreira had to pause due to the cheers from the crowd for the young boy.

In a longer version of the video, fans can be heard chanting, ‘Sign him up, sign him up, sign him up’.

Here’s how people reacted to the video after it resurfaced on social media:

We need more of this in the world!

Another such memorable moment on the pitch came when Liverpool football star Mohamed Salah’s daughter scored a similar ‘goal’ in 2019.
