Lifelong Liverpool fan receives special birthday surprise
A lifelong Liverpool fan has been given a birthday to remember by the club.
Local supporter Bernard Sheridan will celebrate his 104th birthday on January 25 and received a surprise visit this week to mark his forthcoming special day.
As a thank-you for his 96 years of support, LFC’s fan experience team called in to see Bernard at home at RMBI’s The Tithebarn in Crosby and presented him with Reds gifts - including a signed flag and birthday cake - alongside a personal letter from the manager, Jürgen Klopp.
“I’ve been a proud Liverpool fan since I was a boy and have supported the club through thick and thin, so I’m absolutely thrilled to receive these gifts,” he said.
“A win against Crystal Palace on Saturday will be the icing on the cake.”
Wavertree-born Bernard, who went to his first game in 1923, will be at Anfield on Saturday to cheer on the team alongside his son, who has travelled from Canada to join the celebrations.
