It is every young footballer's dream to meet their heroes and for one Middlesbrough fan that came true in a very special way this week.
When Henry Baines, a young Boro supporter, wrote to midfielder Marten de Roon as part of his school literacy project, he couldn't have imagined the response he would get.
De Roon was that touched by Henry's letter to him, which described the player as his 'idol', that he decided to turn up unannounced at his house.


A video on Twitter shows the moment the Boro player pulls up outside Henry's house with a copy of the letter he was sent.
