Sometimes, you have to leave it to kids to remind us all what it is to be a football fan.

Kids like Louis Diamond. While the grown-ups among us tend to be a cynical bunch, little guys like Louis view football with pure, unadulterated emotion.

That's why the video of Louis' reaction to Robin van Persie leaving Man United quickly went viral. In case you haven't seen it, you can check it out here - Louis' mum tells him that RvP is being sold to Fenerbahce … and Louis promptly bursts into tears.

As the cute clip spread across the internet, some warm-hearted Fenerbahce supporters started raising money to get Louis out to Turkey to meet his hero.

As you can see in the new video above, it worked.

Yes, thanks purely to the generosity of Turkish fans, Louis and his entire family were flown out to a recent Fenerbahce match - and Louis got to meet van Persie.

Robin van Persie being all nice and sweet and lovely

It has to be said, the former Man United man deals with it all very nicely, giving Louis and his brother a cuddle and saying all the right stuff.

"I saw the video of Louis and it was a really touching moment because it came from his heart and he was really upset," says RvP.

All very cute. So cute, in fact, that Arsenal fans have all remembered that van Persie is actually a thoroughly nice chap.

Right, Arsenal fans?
