Fourth-tier English side Accrington Stanley were drawn against Premier League giants Liverpool at Anfield yesterday in the third round of the FA Cup.
A video clip has since gone viral of one player's family celebrating the achievement at home, with the player, 24-year-old striker Josh Woods, quoting the original video with the message: "Dreams do come true wow!", followed by a red love heart emoji.
Television presenter, pundit, former player and one-time Scottish League Cup-winner for Celtic, Dion Dublin, made the draw, and has replied to Woods with the message: "Glad I made ya dream come true Josh, enjoy the Anfield experience, it’s special!"

As a player, Dublin spent time at the likes of Coventry City, Aston Villa and Leicester City, before joining Celtic under Gordon Strachan in January of 2006.
The former striker featured several times from thereon until the end of the season, netting Celtic's third in that year's 3-0 League Cup final win against Dunfermline Athletic – a victory that ultimately sealed a league cup and league double.
That summer, Dublin was released with the forward returning to former club Norwich City.
