James O'Connor brings fan to tears with incredible gift

Aussie rugby player James O'Connor has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons lately, but this was all class from the Toulon star.

O'Connor was charged by French police with possession of cocaine in February, escaping with a fine from the French Top 14 disciplinary committee.

But by the looks of the video above, all has been forgiven by the majority of Toulon fans.

After playing at outside centre in Toulon's win over Pau on Saturday, O'Connor gave his boots to one young fan.

The youngster was overcome with emotion, bursting into tears and hugging O'Connor.

O'Connor, 26, appeared 44 times for the Wallabies between 2008 and 2013.

He made his debut at 18, the second youngest Wallaby in Australian rugby history.
