Izza Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 It was my lads 16th Birthday today. Before the match he asked Tom if he could have his gloves as it was his birthday and Tom said I will sort something out for you after the match. I wasn't really expecting anything to come of it but true to his word he came back with this pair of gloves. My lad is absolutely over the moon. He wants to offer a big thankyou to Tom,if you read this forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Really nice when players can go out of their way a little bit, really makes a difference. Little different but when I was a kid I caught a training top off of Vilmos Sebok that he threw up into the Atyeo stand when I was a kid, loved it. Thing like that stay with you and he'll always look at Heaton in a positive light now no matter what - which is good that it wasn't Foster or McInnes that gave him something because we'd all think he was mental if he saw them overly positively.

pongo88 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Great to hear that some players appreciate the supporters. Too often we hear about them ignoring / being rude to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JammyOne Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 It's know on these boards that I don't rate Heaton very highly as a footballer, but what a top bloke. Chuffed for your son! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stroudy Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Someone I know in work knows him from his Cardiff days and says he is one of the niceist blokes you could ever wish to meet. Top Man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kaiser Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 I know this is slightly off track - but in the note of guys going out of their way - Yesterday I took my little girl to kid's day at the Australian Open. She was stood with me by the gate and out of nowhere came Novak Djockovic, with "Hi there, what's your name? That's a nice hat, here you go this is your first racquet go take your dad and tell him you want to be a tennis player" Obviously a racquet would be nothing to him (he don't even pay for them) but for a guy who (i'll be honest) I have always regarded as a bit of a c***, he is the most amazing guy for doing things out of the limelight and just speaking to people. As the Opening Post says, small things can go a mile. I will now be holding a much different view of the Serb and will happily see him win games now!!!

The Kaiser Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 Heaton has copped a bit of flak this season. I happen to think he is a fking good goalkeeper and glad to see he is a decent lad as well. Nice post this one, on a day like today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
