Caoimhin Kelleher praised after making Dublin Liverpool fan's dream come true on Late Late Toy Show

One Dubliner got the surprise of a lifetime while appearing on the Late Late Toy Show on Friday night.

East Wall native Cealan stole viewers hearts as he spoke to Ryan about his dreams of playing for his favourite team and his country in the future. If that didn't work out, his back up plan was to become a teacher.

Cealan then challenged Ryan to a penalty shootout and put on a blindfold to take his shots. Then, Liverpool star Caoimhin Kelleher snuck on stage and surprised the youngster.

The footballer gave him his gloves, a signed jersey from the whole Liverpool squad and promised to fly Cealan and his family over to Anfield to watch Jurgan Klopp's men live.

Viewers were impressed with Kelleher's generosity, with one saying: "Another great Late Late Show moment well done Caoimhin Kelleher." Another wrote: "What a man Caoimhín Kelleher. Surprising young Irish Liverpool fan who was blindfolded, giving him his gloves and Jersey signed by the team and a trip to a home game. Would fill ya with joy."

A third said: "Class act Caoimhín Kelleher!"
