Lifelong Liverpool FC fan Kelvin lives his Anfield dream

He even got a wave from football legend Steven Gerrard

Lifelong Liverpool Football Club supporter Kelvin had a dream come true when he travelled to Anfield to watch his team play for the first time.

Kelvin, who is supported by learning disability Hft in Cornwall, made the trip up north to watch his footballing heroes battle it out on the pitch against Newcastle – and cheered them to a 4-1 victory.

Kelvin, who’s bedroom is full of Liverpool FC memorabilia, visited the stadium 10 years ago for a tour.

But this was the first time he had actually watched his team play, along with 61,000 other fans.

On arrival at the stadium, Kelvin was offered an upgraded seat to the front row – and even got to see Steve Gerrard who gave him a wave.

Kelvin and Support Worker Carl Brennan also joined other fans in a rousing rendition of its anthem, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’

“The atmosphere was electric,” said Kelvin. “I can’t put it into words.”

The pair’s visit to Anfield began with a visit to the club shop, where Kelvin bought himself a Liverpool FC scarf and hat.

They then listened to a local band in the fan zone before eating fish and chips by the Stanley Matthews statue.

They then visited the famous Twelfth Man Sports Bar, a favourite haunt with fans, where Kelvin enjoyed a 0 per cent Guinness ahead of kick off.

The pair then collected their tickets and returned to the ground ready for the match.

“I loved the whole thing,” said Kelvin.

“I loved Liverpool, it felt like home.

“Carl was great and looked after me.

“The best thing ever was getting a wave from Steven Gerrard – and we won the match”.

Carl said: “The day was was about supporting Kelvin as I knew he was a big supporter.

“But I ended up coming away from the experience, that even now, Liverpool do have a place in my heart.

“The whole experience with Kelvin was such a joy and a proper ‘lads weekend away’. ‘’
