In a season filled with records and unforgettable moments, one story stood out beyond the goals, trophies, and fanfare—the heartwarming journey of Isaac Kearney, a young Liverpool fan whose courage and joy touched the entire football world.

As part of Liverpool FC’s Red Together initiative under The Red Way, the club spotlighted Isaac’s inspiring story to mark the United Nations’ International Day of Persons with Disabilities. Isaac, who lives with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend the day with his heroes, including Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk.

But it wasn’t just any visit. Isaac got to walk out at Anfield, hand-in-hand with his idols—a moment that not only made headlines but also made history.

The emotional video of his experience captured the hearts of fans globally, racking up a jaw-dropping 122 million views and 12.4 million engagements across social media. It became part of Liverpool’s most engaged day ever online and contributed to the club setting a new record as the most-engaged Premier League club in 2023–24, with over 1.5 billion total engagements.

What made Isaac’s moment even more powerful was its impact beyond football. The story sparked a five-year high in Google searches for Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, raising awareness and bringing hope to countless families around the world.

Through Isaac’s smile, courage, and pure love for the Reds, Liverpool FC didn’t just show their commitment to diversity and inclusion—they reminded the world that football is for everyone.

Isaac Kearney may be small in stature, but he now stands tall in the hearts of millions.
