A FOOTIE-mad six-year-old trumped classmates when he arrived at his school’s Halloween disco — dressed as Manchester City’s Jack Grealish.
Nairn Rodgers put on the club’s kit and scraped his hair back in a band like his midfield hero before drawing on stubble.
His fancy dress inspiration came three days after Nairn fulfilled his dream of watching Grealish, 28, play and he got to tour City’s Etihad Stadium.
Parents Jordan Rodgers, 26, and Michaela Goodwin drove him 200 miles for last Saturday’s 2-1 win over Brighton to celebrate his upcoming seventh birthday.
Michaela, 23, said: “Jack Grealish is his favourite player and we’re proud of him and how much he suited the costume and actually looked like Grealish.
“Other kids went as scary pumpkins, witches, Encanto, but no other footballers. Unfortunately, they don’t do prizes for best dressed any more.”

Nairn, who goes to Machanhill Primary in Larkhall, near Glasgow, plays football for his local team.
Michaela added: “He’s only six but football is his everything.
“He wants to be a footballer. It’s all he ever does and has done from when he could kick a ball.
“His room is filled with Manchester City posters, football cards, scarves, and he has two strips.”
