Blind Liverpool fan's incredible day experiencing the Premier League finale at Anfield

A blind Liverpool fan has once again touched the hearts of thousands following the the Premier League finale at Anfield after going viral online earlier in the season.

Mike Kearney became an internet sensation in December when a video was captured of him celebrating Mo Salah' s goal against Napoli after it was described to him by his cousin Stephen Garcia.

As Anfield erupted around him, Mike from Bootle, could be seen beaming up at the sky .

The video  prompted an emotional response  on Twitter, with Liverpool fans rushing to comment on how moving the footage is - and saying it shows the true power of football.

And now, Mike and Ste have delighted fans once again in incredible footage shot by Liverpool Football Club of their experience of the final final league game of the season on Sunday.

The pair arrived at Anfield , as they do most weeks, followed by a crew from LFC with the aim of showing others what matchday is like for them.

Throughout the video, the pair celebrate and commiserate together as Stephen continues to explain what is happening on the pitch as well as what was going on in Brighton as Manchester City secured the title.

Despite being unable to see the game, Mike doesn't let that interrupt his analysis of the match, even hilariously stating: ""More chance of me growing a new set of eyes than wolves getting 97 points."

Posting the footage to their Twitter account, LFC said: "After winning the hearts of players and fans earlier in the season…

"We joined MikeKearney1 and his cousin Stephen to experience our final PL matchday of the campaign."

After the video was posted on LFC's official social media accounts, Mike also tweeted about the experience.

He said: "Thank you to all at the club who were involved with this.

"Was worried it would be unbroadcastable when I heard who the ref was.

"But this was boss to watch back. Everyone’s saying nice things about me and Ste again so thank you for that.

"What a season we’ve had. Bring on Madrid."

Reactions on Twitter show that Mike and Ste have warmed people's hearts once again.
