A SEARCH has begun for a pair of young Sydney Swans supporters who captured the hearts of those sitting near them at the footy on the weekend.
The brothers — one who is blind — were in Bay 45 in the Noble Stand as the Swans played Carlton last Saturday afternoon in the final minor round game of the season.
According to Twitter posts by several people in the crowd, the brother who could see provided play-by-play commentary of the match so his sibling — who sat eagerly holding a Sherrin — could enjoy the game.
Writer Jonathan Drennan alerted the Swans to the heartwarming story. The club is now hoping to find the duo.
Heard a beautiful thing at @sydneyswans game tonight. A boy was giving his blind brother a brilliant play by play commentary all game long.

The developing story has already sparked an incredible reaction from footy fans, who want to see the youngsters involved in Sydney’s first final against Essendon next Saturday, September 9.
