LFC fan, 9, makes 'friend for life' in magical moment

A nine-year-old Liverpool FC fan burst into tears after meeting his hero in a magical moment at a showpiece match.

John Myatt took his son Zac to watch Liverpool's Community Shield match against Manchester City at Leicester City's King Power Stadium last Saturday to celebrate his ninth birthday. But it was after the match that Zac's dream became a reality, when he got to meet his favourite player Andy Robertson, who signed his cap and Liverpool shirt.

John, 40, from Dingle, told the ECHO: "Everyone else was going [to buy] shirts and he said 'all I want to do is see if I can get Robbo to sign my shirt."
