Principal Liverpool owner John W Henry has celebrated his birthday with a specially themed cake, featuring all the trophies won by the Reds over the past year-and-a-half.
Henry's wife, Linda Pizzuti, shared an image of the birthday boy, who turned 71 yesterday next to a custom baked treat with a football emerging from the middle.
Surrounding the ball are mini versions of the UEFA Champions League trophy as well as the FIFA Club World Cup, the Premier League trophy and the UEFA Super Cup.
The Reds helped give their owner an early birthday present this weekend with a pulsating 4-3 victory over Leeds United in their first game of the new Premier League season on Saturday.
A Mohamed Salah hat-trick was enough to eventually see off a spirited performance from Marcelo Bielsa's side and ensure Henry could start his birthday celebrations early.
Next month will mark a decade since Henry's Fenway Sports Group took over at the club, ending the tumultuous reign of Tom Hicks and George Gillett.
During that time, Henry has been critical in overseeing the appointment of Brendan Rodgers who helped bring Liverpool closest to winning the league than they had in years, before the hiring of Jurgen Klopp at Anfield and his rebuild of the squad eventually leading to the Reds becoming European, World and English champions - giving Henry much to celebrate.
Last season's Premier League triumph, Liverpool's first league title in 30 years, clearly meant a lot to the club's owner - highlighted by the delay of the occasion because of the coronavirus pandemic.
At the time, he tweeted a message describing what it meant to him, the club and the fans.
He said: "This was a season for the ages and for the faithful of Liverpool Football Club.
"It has been an incredible year of magnificent achievement culminating tonight in capturing the Premier League title.
"The world has watched the fierce determination of this club on the field for every single match – the preparation, the resolve and the talent of those who put together perhaps the greatest league performance ever in any country's history.
"This in addition to winning a European championship, a Super Cup and a world championship -- the totality of this accomplishment has brought respite and joy to so many in a year filled with so much tragedy.
"LFC has made the beautiful game more beautiful than ever."
