This is the emotional moment an 84-year-old grandfather with dementia is welcomed to the Etihad by Manchester City star Phil Foden.

Barry Carr has captured the hearts of thousands in TikTok videos of his grandson, Charlie Gibson, who regularly takes his 'gramps' to games despite Barry's deteriorating condition.

Charlie's video where he took Barry to City's final day dramatic Premier League clinching win against Aston Villa has been viewed nearly seven and a half million times and instantly caught the attention of many at the club.

This includes young Stockport-born Foden, who has gone 'above and beyond' to welcome Barry into the City family. Barry and Charlie were special guests at the Community Shield game between City and Liverpool in late July with Foden coming over to the fans at the end of the game and giving Barry his shirt.
