He captioned the clip, writing: “Ahh man 😢 what a brave little guy, so touching 💙 and top class from Lemina also 👌🏻💙”

Frazer, aged just eight years old, was born with one eye. His remaining eye is known as a micro-eye, and required 64 surgeries to keep its light and colour perception.

The first operation took place when Frazer was just five weeks old.

The video, originally posted by Wolves’ Twitter and then shared by Grealish, tells young Frazer’s inspiring story.

In the video, Frazer attends Molineux for the first time as a mascot for the club.

He is walked out by Gabonese midfielder Mario Lemina, whilst listening to an audio descriptive commentary through headphones.

Lemina took the time to speak to Frazer before and after the game. Towards the end of the video, the midfielder speaks about the impact Frazer’s visit had on him: “After meeting this guy, I was just positive all the time.

“When you see these kind of kids in this kind of situation, and getting through it with so much positivity, you just respect that and learn more from life.”
