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 attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
The 27-year-old, who hopes to make the Republic of Ireland’s Euro 2016 squad, made a fine gesture to a fan on Monday before the Bees’ win against 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 by way of an apology.

Nice touch from Alan Judge to give his training top to the Bees fan he hit with his "practice" shot 👍👏 🐝@BrentfordFC #brentfordfc

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’ll also give him a pair of boots.
