Hector Bellerin is one of the good guys, folks.
Premier League footballers often get a lot of stick for being prima donnas who quickly forget where they came from once they begin earning millions a year.
But Bellerin can never be accused of getting too big for his fans.
The Arsenal full back proved that he will go above and beyond the call of duty for his supporters by tracking down one little girl who had asked for his jersey at Christmastime.

During Arsenal’s five-goal thriller with Crystal Palace on December 28, one young fan made her favourite player known and requested Bellerin’s match shirt but the Spaniard hadn’t spotted her until after the game.
“After the Crystal Palace away game, I was at home looking at pictures of the game and I saw a picture of this little girl with a banner that she was holding and it had my name on it with a little heart,” Bellerin said.
“It touched me so I put a tweet out on Twitter asking for help to find this girl and, with your help, we were able to speak to the parents and today, we’re here and we’re about to surprise them with the shirt I wore for that game.”
The Spain international used his social media to track the girl’s family down and recently, he paid a special visit to their house.
Bellerin didn’t rush his trip either as he happily enjoyed a game of Mario Kart and Top Trumps before he was treated to a tour of their home by the kids.
The 22-year-old even got a Valentine’s card from the girl and, in return, she finally got her signed jersey.
Hell of a guy, that Hector.
