Luke Shaw is an absolutely lovely chap.
The Manchester United full-back became a firm fan favourite at Old Trafford last season, not only after a fantastic start to the campaign on the pitch, but in his attitude once that campaign was unfortunately cut short due to a broken leg.
Well now he's about to earn a lot of fans outside of Manchester United supporters after he took the time to respond with a very classy letter to a Tipperary family who tragically lost their young daughter last year.
After reaching out to the club to let them know that their new son was named Luke, another Luke wanted to welcome him to the world and congratulate his proud parents.

That is a very nice gesture indeed. Fair play to that young man.
Here's newly born Luke with his proud Dad, who was absolutely delighted to receive that letter in the post.

It's always nice to see footballers reaching out and showing some love, so once again good on Luke Shaw and congratulations to the de Korte family on the birth of their child.
A lovely story.
