VideoWatch Isaac's story: How six-year-old singing Kopite captured LFC hearts
“I’m looking for someone who is a big, big Liverpool fan and he loves to play the guitar… I think his name is Isaac?”
Well, Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk certainly found him.
Reds fans, and in fact supporters of rival clubs, have found Isaac too – found his very special renditions of LFC songs on social media.
His combination of passionate chanting and toy guitar in support of his beloved team has captured the hearts of thousands online.
And he captured even more hearts during his own tour of the AXA Training Centre recently.

Watch on YouTubeIt all started when the six-year-old – who was born with the rare genetic disorder Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, which means he develops at a slower rate than other children his age – was surprised on a normal Friday morning at school by Salah and Van Dijk.
The Liverpool duo arrived unannounced and whisked Isaac and his family – dad Alan, mum Melissa and sister Florence – off to Kirkby.
There, he met the squad, each of whom the young Kopite greeted with a shout of their surname and a warm high-five, before watching them put through their paces by Arne Slot.
Salah and Van Dijk had another surprise for him, too: Isaac was to be an official mascot alongside the latter for the Reds’ massive Premier League clash with Manchester City at Anfield, ahead of the United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
He proved to be a lucky charm as Slot’s men delivered a 2-0 win that afternoon.
Worth singing about, for sure.
