Liutauras Balciunas, a 19-year-old from Newcastle, has been officially named a 'Local Legend' by the Premier League.
The teenager has picked up the award as part of his involvement in Premier League Kicks, a local community programme supporting thousands of youngsters via free weekly football sessions and educational workshops.
To celebrate the initiative's 15-year anniversary clubs have been nominating individuals who have taken part in, volunteered, or worked on the programme and inspired others through their dedication, work ethic and own personal development.
