A young Liverpool FC had a day to remember after he celebrated the FA Community Shield with the players on the pitch.
Harley Jackson had travelled down to Leicester City's King Power Stadium to watch the Reds record a convincing 3-1 win over Manchester City. But the nine-year-old wasn't content with celebrating just from the stands as he joined the players on the pitch after Jordan Henderson had lifted the trophy.
Harley, from Bootle, travelled to the match with his dad, Chris, and two of his dad's friends. Chris said his son told them on the journey down to Leicester he had planned to celebrate with the team.

He told the ECHO : "Harley had it in his head all day he was going to get on and he just took his opportunity.
"After the players lifted the trophy they came over and he had the opportunity to go for it and just did it. The players were absolutely superb.
"They actually wanted him to stay on - [Naby] Keita and Harvey Elliott wanted him celebrating with them. But the steward wasn't having it. That's why Harvey carried him off so he wasn't led off by the stewards."
Harley has been to see Liverpool FC play in previous finals but "was made up" after his experience at the Community Shield. His dad added he hasn't stopped talking about it since and has received well wishes after pictures of him with Elliott on the pitch went on social media.
Chris said: "It's good for him, it's good for Liverpool Football Club and it's good for Harvey Elliott. What an experience for Harley."
