The power of football: Mooy inspires young cancer patient

1 min read

Caltex Socceroos star Aaron Mooy had plenty of admirers for his performances at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, but probably none more special than young Bella.

Bella is battling brain cancer and started chemotherapy last year, with the treatment seeing the young girl lose all her hair.

And it was while watching this year’s FIFA World Cup that Bella first saw Mooy play and adopted the Caltex Socceroo as her favourite player as he also shaved his head.

Bella is now a big fan of Mooy and now has a full Huddersfield Town playing strip with the 28-year-old Aussie’s name on the back.

Mooy is aware of his new supporter and even posted a pic of Bella on his Instagram account.
