Chelsea captain John Terry has often been vilified for his actions on and off the football pitch.
But the former England skipper has attempted to change his image in recent years, often engaging in charitable acts and with fans - he played in David Beckham's Unicef charity game at the weekend.
The Chelsea Reddit page has found another such example of Terry's kindness.
In a letter to Susan Goode, whose husband Michael died, Terry expresses the "deepest sympathies" from the players and staff at Chelsea.
The letter reads:
"Dear Susan,
It is with great sadness that we have been informed that your husband Michael has passed away.
Michael was a loyal fan who will be dearly missed by his family, friends and Chelsea Football Club.
It is the kind of support that Michael gave us that has made the club what it is today.
The players, coaching team and all the staff at Chelsea Football Club would like to send you and your family and friends our deepest sympathies.
Yours sincerely,
John Terry
First Team Captain
Chelsea Football Club"
