The Little Champion with a Big Heart

​Isaac Kearney is a six-year-old Liverpool FC superfan from the UK who has captured global attention with his enthusiasm and inspiring story. Born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome—a rare genetic disorder that results in delayed development—Isaac has become a social media sensation through his spirited performances of Liverpool chants and songs, often accompanied by his toy guitar. His passion led to a heartwarming encounter in late 2024 when Liverpool stars Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk surprised him at school. This meeting culminated in an invitation to be a mascot at Anfield during a Premier League match against Manchester City, coinciding with the United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
