The loyal Tottenham fan wrote alongside the image of him in the club’s 2017/17 away shirt: “I may suffer from muscular dystrophy and use a wheelchair full time, but it doesn’t stop me rocking the @AlderweireldTob shirt in the gym!”
The image garnered 46 retweets and 1,600 likes.
But more importantly it was seen by the Tottenham defender himself.
He replied: “That’s the spirit Alun, never give up!
“Would love to give you my latest jersey for your workouts! If you send me a private message with your contact details and size we’ll sort it out. All the best, Toby.”
Alderweireld recently revealed he could have earned “a lot more” money if he had quit Spurs when he had the chance.
Manchester United were long linked with the 28-year-old Belgian centre-back.
He signed a new contract in December, just a month after Mauricio Pochettino was replaced by Jose Mourinho at the club.
admitted he signed a new deal at Spurs out of a feeling of “loyalty” – but also realised it wasn’t just about him.
Alderweireld spoke with his wife and together they concluded they were happy in London and, with another child on the way, uprooting themselves made little sense.
On penning the new deal, Alderweireld told the Sunday Telegraph: “Financially the club made a good effort that showed me they really wanted me so that gave me respect.
“I could maybe earn a lot more somewhere else, but then I chose loyalty, that’s worth something as well.
“I talked to my wife, we have a second kid on the way. First of all, I asked her: ‘What do you want?’
“She said she’s happy to stay, she loves it here, but that I can choose whatever I want.
“That gave me the opportunity to explore everything that I wanted.”
