Socceroos are making Australia proud in the English Premier League this season, with Mat Ryan singled out for a generous act towards a fan.
It was only a few months ago that Aaron Mooy gained worldwide attention for giving a tour to a young fan who'd attempted to pay some of his wages.
Now Ryan's feeling the love after picking out a young boy to take a photo with and give his jersey to after Brighton's recent 1-1 draw with Tottenham.
The shot-stopper then took the opportunity to publicly apologise to those he hadn't been able to give a souvenir to, posting on twitter "will have a bunch of stuff for the United game to giveaway."
It carries on a heartwarming tradition between the Aussie and young Brighton fans, from leading out kids onto the pitch to hugging a young fan after his penalty save against Stoke.
Hope this young man enjoys his souvenir and apologies to anyone who I haven’t been able to give something to who’s asked, getting a lot of demand but will have a bunch of stuff for the United game to giveaway so hope to make a few boys and girls happy 😊 #seagulls pic.twitter.com/aRTTviZC5W
