“This is what football is all about” – A lot of Newcastle United fans love the way Miguel Almiron repaid Lucas Rochford – the ball-boy who went viral with his reaction to Miguel Almiron’s missed chance against Wolves.
Miggy raced through on goal and fired a shot wide of the near post and ended up in the advertising hoardings.
However, ten-year-old Lucas was there to give the 25-year-old the thumbs up, and though Almiron didn’t notice, he made sure that Lucas was invited to the training ground.
There Almiron personally greeted Lucas and handed him a signed shirt and spent some time with the young Toon fan.
It is a sign of what a good person Almiron is.
Now we just need him to start producing the goods on the pitch.
A lot of Newcastle fans want him to succeed, and acts like this have only increased that feeling.
See the best of the reaction below.

As a lifetime #miguelalmiron fan regardless of his current struggles on the pitch I can assure you his smiles are genuine and reflect the feelings of his heart. He will turn things around.

I don’t think, in 40+ years of supporting, I’ve ever wanted a player to succeed at Newcastle as much as I want Almiron to.

Many Newcastle fans want and believe that Almiron will come good.
This is absolutely brilliant.
