Jerzy Dudek and Jason McAteer make young Liverpool fan's day at Anfield Legends match

Jerzy Dudek halted yesterday's Liverpool v AC Milan Legends match at Anfield to make a young Reds' fan's day.

The goalkeeping hero of Istanbul stepped into the Kop to retrieve the ball, but asked a young wheelchair bound supporter to toss the ball to him.

Jacob Holland spilled his first attempt, but Dudek patiently retrieved the ball, tossed it back to him and this time young Jacob threw the ball perfectly back to the keeper.

The look of joy on his face is evident.

Jason McAteer later went over to the youngster after the match to sign and present a Reds shirt to him.

How well do you remember Istanbul?

The youngster's dad, Rich Holland, later thanked Talksport for posting the video.

"Thanks for sharing this," he tweeted. "My son had an amazing day and was a beautiful moment for him. Jason McAteer made his day too! Memories for a lifetime."
