LIFETIME LIVERPOOL FAN David was recently visited by none other than Reds defender Virgil van Dijk.
In a video produced by the club as part of a new series called ‘Dear Liverpool FC’, the big Dutchman shows up to surprise him at work, where he is collecting shopping trolleys.
As David’s brother Ian explained in a letter to the European champions, David was “starved of oxygen” as a boy, which has resulted in him experiencing some difficulties in his life.
