This diehard Liverpool Football Club fan is always making sure to cheer on his beloved team whenever they play—and thanks to a letter from his doting older brother, the team was recently able to return the favor.
Ian, a Liverpool City resident who hoped his hometown soccer team would do something special for his brother David, wrote a letter to the club about David’s condition.
Since David was starved of oxygen as an infant, he developed differently than other kids. Though David struggled academically, his enduring obsession with Liverpool FC never left him, and he is well-known in the community as being a great lad and a passionate fan.

David is a season ticket holder who tries to go see Liverpool play as many times as he can—but now thanks to Nivea Men, one of the members of the team went to go see David while he was at work.
Liverpool FC defender Virgil Van Dijk, who is considered to be the best defender and one of the best players in the world, visited David’s place of work to give him the surprise of a lifetime: a trip to Liverpool FC’s training ground to meet the team.
Not only that, Van Dijk presented David with tickets for all the remaining away games of the season to make sure they had his support from the stands for every one of the 25 remaining games this season.
