When Gary met Gary . .

A HEARTS fan who has cerebral palsy and Spina bifida was left beaming after being surprised with a personal appearance by his hero – and namesake – Gary Mackay.

Gary Mackay, 13, was shocked to find himself in front of football legend Gary Mackay after a surprise meeting was organised by local charity Dreamz4u. Gary thought he was going out shopping with his parents, but was instead whisked off to Tynecastle stadium where he met the ex-Hearts captain.

The pair joked with each other and took a tour around the grounds before footballer Gary signed a football strip for his young fan.
