In the eyes of his family, little Judd Greenham will always be a hero.
Back in October the eight-year-old Carlton supporter saved a four-year-old boy from drowning, while holidaying in Port Douglas.
To recognise his heroic efforts, Sea World offered Judd a chance to swim with the dolphins on the Gold Coast – and the Greenham family’s trip just happened to coincide with Carlton’s pre-season training camp.
On Saturday, Judd Greenham and his family attended Carlton’s training session at Southport. Little Judd couldn’t wipe the smile off his face when he met his football heroes.

Judd had his photo taken with Marc Murphy, Patrick Cripps and Matthew Kreuzer, and collected plenty of signatures on his Carlton guernsey.
“I think Judd was more excited to meet his favourite Carlton players than swim with the dolphins,” his mother Natasha laughed. “He was over the moon!”
The Blues return from their pre-season training camp on Tuesday 22 December.
