What an utterly wonderful example of a human he is.

twitter.com/marcusrashford/status/1414672529717964807?s=21

What a brilliant young man and a fantastic example for kids today.

To all the racists out there trying to tear him down. Fuck you.

Ive got something in my eye ...

Sinner10 · 12/07/2021 21:37

It’s very sad in this day and age that there is still racists around, if they won they would be behaving so different. Makes me angry!

RufustheBadgeringReindeer · 12/07/2021 21:37

He’s a star ⭐️

MarshaBradyo · 12/07/2021 21:38

He’s fantastic

Leading the way out of the hideous stuff online and irl

Really brilliant

TangoWhiskyAlphaTango · 12/07/2021 21:39

What a lovely young man, his Mum must be so proud of what he has achieved both on and off the pitch.

Geamhradh · 12/07/2021 21:40

Star well said.

CaMePlaitPas · 12/07/2021 21:41

He has such a beautiful dignified spirit, I'm a huge fan of this young man.

Oblomov21 · 12/07/2021 21:41

So sad. Sad

TerribleCustomerCervix · 12/07/2021 21:42

I don’t understand how someone could be such a decent, motivated and generous person at the age of 23.

I was a total knobhead at 23, as I’m sure a lot of people were. Just worried about my next nice out and petty office dramas.

Then there’s Marcus who makes Mother Theresa look like Donald Trump. Credit to his mum and the people who influenced him to use his position to genuinely make the world a slightly better place.

Howshouldibehave · 12/07/2021 21:43

Fantastic-and some of those letters to him from children are brilliant too. What a lovely man.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 12/07/2021 21:43

He’s such a fabulous bloke.

TotorosCatBus · 12/07/2021 21:44

Those letters of support from the kids 😭

Imissmoominmama · 12/07/2021 21:44

He really is an exceptional young man.

enjoyingscience · 12/07/2021 21:44

He’s so brilliant.

He’s a true hero. All three of the lads who missed did a braver thing by walking to that spot at 19 and 23 than any of the fascist scumbags abusing them will ever do in their miserable lives.

Horehound · 12/07/2021 21:45

He is a fantastic role model

sashagabadon · 12/07/2021 21:45

He’s a great role model for young boys

AOwlAOwlAOwl · 12/07/2021 21:47

He's something really special isn't he.

To have that mature and focused outlook on the things that really matter, I don't think I've managed that and I'm nearly 40.

I hope he manages to stay grounded and doesn't let the bullshit on SM get to him. His mum must be absolutely bursting with pride. I'm proud and I don't even know him!

episcomama · 12/07/2021 21:47

Thanks, OP, for making me tear up in the office.

What an exceptional young man he is.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 12/07/2021 21:47

Oh wow, those letters, amazing 🥲. I hope he’s surrounded by all the support he needs. Courageous young man.

GirlAloud · 12/07/2021 21:48

It was a truly awful penalty. Probably the worst Marcus will ever take, and at the biggest moment of his career to date. He must be, in football parlance, gutted.

But that doesn’t change the fact that he is a truly remarkable and admirable young man, and a role model for a generation. He will come back from this a better player, and wouldn’t it be great if he scored the winner in next year’s World Cup final? Maybe not a penalty, though...

RogueMnerHidesUnderABigHat · 12/07/2021 21:50

He's an incredible human being, and a role model to us all

OrchestraOfWankery · 12/07/2021 21:50

What a great young man. Truly an inspiration.

spinningspaniels · 12/07/2021 21:52

Love what Harry Kane has put out too.

What an amazing team of young men. They should be proud of getting to the final.

TheFairyCaravan · 12/07/2021 21:52

I love him. ❤️

FlaminEckVera · 12/07/2021 21:53

That's fab! What a guy! Smile
