The Seattle Seahawks have a special relationship with their fans, referring to their famously loud and boistrous followers as "The 12th Man."

This holiday season, one of those diehard fans was brought to tears by a special gesture from the team, and it all began after a chance encounter with the girlfriend of running back Robert Turbin. 

According to this YouTube video, the fan allowed Turbin's girlfriend to borrow his Seahawks jacket for a photo, and in return, the fan was promised a Turbin autograph after the game. However, the fan's cell phone ran out of juice, and the autograph didn't happen. 

However, a month later, the disappointed fan got something way better than a Turbin autograph.

Just watch and enjoy:
