The 17-year-old beat off a host of rivals to claim the gong for his magnificent stop in the 2-1 victory at Manchester United U18s at the start of April.

A delighted Stephens told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I feel really honoured to be recognised, particularly as it was at an event with so many famous sports personalities.

"I still can't quite believe it. I was playing crazy golf in Liverpool with Kristjan Emilsson when I got the news and it made me feel a bit better as I was getting hammered!

"I'm completely lost for words and feel very proud for myself, the club and my teammates, who I'd like to thank for their support throughout the season.

"I'd also like to thank my family who continue to support me as I look to carve out a career in the game."
