I don't care who you are, unless you are dead inside, this will hit you right in your soul. Athletes, use your platform for things like THIS, not woke BS.
Isaac Kearney became a much-loved Liverpool supporter after videos of the young fan singing Liverpool songs with his toy guitar went viral. Born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, Isaac captured the attention of fans around the world, eventually leading to an unforgettable surprise in November 2024 when Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk turned up at his school. He was then taken to Liverpool's training ground, where he met the squad and Arne Slot, before being made a mascot for the Manchester City match at Anfield. The Christmas Day video documenting the experience went on to attract more than 122 million views worldwide.
Isaac's story has continued well beyond that original viral moment. In August 2026, after Salah's departure from Liverpool, the pair were reunited when Isaac and his family travelled to Türkiye as guests of Trabzonspor. Salah was visibly delighted to see him, embracing the youngster before Isaac walked onto the pitch alongside his former Liverpool hero ahead of Trabzonspor's match. It was a particularly touching continuation of a friendship that began with that remarkable school surprise, showing that Isaac's connection with Salah had survived even the footballer's move away from Anfield.
