For young fans all over the world, going to see a professional soccer match is an opportunity for kids to see their idols. Sporting Kansas City forward Johnny Russell played the role of hero on Sunday, but not for what he did on the pitch. Sure, he scored a goal in the 3-0 win over the Portland Timbers, but what he did after the match was even better. A young girl held up a sign during the game that read "Johnny Russell, it's my 9th birthday!" What did Russell do after the match? He went to meet her and gave her the jersey he wore during the match. Take a look:

Classy. It may seem like something small, but he just gave her a moment that she will never forget and a jersey she can frame and cherish for years to come. That's what it is all about in the end -- the fans, and creating memories for them to carry with them.
