Video: Tearful young Saints fan says “Wherever Jimmy Graham goes, I go!”

We've all been there.

Your favourite team gets rid of your favourite player, and the emotion just becomes too much. For me, it was Eric Cantona retiring when I was seven. It just wasn't fair. But at least Cantona was retiring, and not going to another team, which is what has happened to this die-hard Saints fan. The young girl just brought back all those agonising memories, as she defiantly stood by tight-end Jimmy Graham, who is to be traded to the Seattle Seahawks. The kid's tears built up and built up, as she said declared: "Wherever Jimmy Graham goes, is where I go. No matter what team." The young girl went on to try explain her feelings to who we think is her mother, but it all just becomes too much, and emotion gets the better of her. Watch it, and try to hold back the tears.
