Irish midfielder shows real class with gesture to fan

A nice touch from Alan Judge

Alan Judge is a classy operator on and off the pitch.

The Brentford midfielder has been in brilliant form for the Championship side this season, winning the division’s player of the month award for October and reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs.

The 27 year old Dubliner, who has a serious chance of making the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2016 squad, showed real class off the pitch today before the Bee’s 2-1 win over Reading.

Judge had accidentally hit a young fan with a stray shot during the warm-up, but made a bee-line (sorry) for the youngster to offer him his training top.

The young lad’s father got in touch with Judge on Twitter after the game, thanking him for his gesture.

And Judge responded by telling him to bring his son to Brentford’s training ground and he’d also give him a pair of boots.

Fair play Alan.
