They won the derby, and the first thing they did was go hug the youngest fans with gifts in hand

After defeating their traditional rival three-nil, any other team would have gone straight to the locker room to celebrate, driven by the euphoria that a victory like that brings.

But Temperley’s players walked over to the stands, looked for the children who had come to cheer them on, and gave them toys one by one for Children’s Day. 

There were no cameras waiting for the moment or prior announcement: it was a line of sweaty footballers, still wearing the shirts from their victory, kneeling down to be at each child’s level.  

Some victories are measured in goals, and others in the face of a child going home with a gift and the feeling that their idol saw them, even if only for a second.
