Eric Abidal gave his Rolex to a kid with cancer

Way to go Eric!

Barcelona defender Eric Abidal has confirmed his reputation as one of soccer’s most warm-hearted stars by making an extraordinary gesture to a young cancer sufferer.

Abidal, who recovered from a cancerous tumor in his liver last year, stunned 15-year-old Juan Garcia after ending a team visit to a local hospital by presenting him with a Rolex watch.

Garcia’s father, J. Garcia Serra, relayed the tale in an open letter to Catalan newspaper Herald, revealing how Abidal’s fight against cancer had inspired his own son’s fight against the disease.
