Bruno Fernandes assisted another moment in Manchester United history when he helped Bobby Moore, a seven-year-old supporter from Belfast, to become the first ever wheelchair mascot to lead out the team at Old Trafford.
As you can see in the latest episode of the Premier League's Fan Mail series below, the Man Utd captain was clearly touched to receive a letter from Bobby, having commented on a video of the young fan celebrating his equaliser at Manchester City in December.
"I love the way he turned around to celebrate," said Fernandes. "The passion he has for the game is no different to me. I hope we have a chance to meet. I dreamed about being a football player for moments like this."
In his letter to Fernandes, Bobby wrote: "I always watch the games with my daddy and Manchester United are the best team ever.
"I love singing songs while watching the match and my favourite is 'Bruno, Bruno, Bruno!' I sing so loud that all of Belfast can hear me.
"I was really happy that you replied to my video from the Manchester derby. I really hope that you get this letter and that you write back."
Bobby went on to explain in the letter that he has spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) - a rare genetic condition that causes muscle weakness and wasting.
"SMA doesn't stop me playing the game I love because I play powerchair football," he wrote.
Cue the premise for Bobby's visit to Manchester. In response to his heartfelt letter to Fernandes, the club invited him to meet members of Man Utd's own powerchair team and show them his skills.
Little did Bobby know that the recipient of his fan mail would also be there, waiting to greet him and his parents Terence and Clare at Carrington, and to turn their already exciting trip into an even more memorable experience.
To their surprise and delight, Fernandes took the family into the restaurant at the training ground to meet his team-mates, including Amad, Rasmus Hojlund, Victor Lindelof, Lisandro Martinez, Andre Onana and Leny Yoro, as well as head coach Ruben Amorim.
All of them signed the shirt that Bruno had given Bobby but the Man Utd skipper had an even bigger gift up his sleeve - tickets for the Premier League match against Man City at Old Trafford and, best of all, an incredible invitation to be a mascot at the match.
"You're going to be leading the team out with me," Fernandes told him. "I will be happy to have you by my side."
The video above shows Bruno and Bobby talking to each other in the tunnel, before leading the United team onto the pitch to face local rivals Man City in front of 75,000 fans.
On this occasion, Fernandes wasn't able to give Bobby and his parents a goal to cheer, as the derby ended 0-0 in the Manchester sunshine. But he was able to give them the shirt off his back, literally - he handed over his match-worn top at full-time.
Bobby's dad Terence commented: "It just hit me there emotionally, just to see Bobby there. It just took my breath away. It's the best day of his life."
