Five-year-old Kopite Shea Callister is getting used to life as an international YouTube star after his celebrations at Sunday's Carling Cup final were beamed around the world.

The youngster - who has been a regular away match traveller since the age of four - was so delighted to see the Reds win their Wembley shoot-out that he carried on celebrating despite poking himself in the eye.

The clip of him perched on his dad's shoulders - which you can watch free below - has generated more than 1.5 million clicks on YouTube and Stephen Callister admits his son's new-found fame has come as something of a surprise.

"I didn't know anything about it until after the game," he told Liverpoolfc.tv. "On the way out of the ground, texts started pouring in saying, 'How's his eye?'

"I was writing back saying, 'What are you on about?' He didn't mention anything to me.

"He was so exhausted on Monday morning, he didn't make it into school but when he did, all the teachers had the clip up on their whiteboards and on their mobile phones to show the pupils who hadn't seen him. He's been very popular."

However, Sunday wasn't Shea's first time in front of the cameras. Some viewers might recognise the lad - who lives in Maghull - from another set of celebrations filmed last October.

After Andy Carroll fired the Reds ahead at Goodison Park, a familiar mop of blonde hair can be seen bobbing up and down in the midst of a frantic Lower Bullens.

"I've had calls from all around the world, including the likes of ESPN, ABC and Good Morning America, asking for the clip," said Stephen. "It's just gone mad.

"I wouldn't mind but I played in a charity match at Anfield not so long ago and scored an absolute screamer - that only got 200 views. Shea's already got 1.5 million!

"He's just a real mad fanatic. He loves Luis Suarez. Suarez is definitely his favourite. He knows every player's name, their height, age etc. He's just obsessed.

"Whenever we go to school to see the teachers, even they comment on it. They tell us he'll be asked a question about Maths or Geography and he'll just bring it back to football!"
