From a West Ham fan , this was superb. Kenny Dalglish is pure class . RIP Eric
he died?
Eric met his idol before he passed on his dream finally came through. RIP Eric. YNWA.
Fellow West Ham fan here too 😃 respect to Kenny absolute goat.
You are a class act for those words.
👏👏👏👏
As the tear drop runs down my face with sadness and joy that Eric got to go to Anfield one more time. Y.N.W.A
❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
aww what a story RIP
I'm not liverpool fan but Celtic mad Kenny was my hero that video shows how much great guy he is and def made Eric's day what fantastic gesture but how fitting before he passed away got to see his heroes I'm Leeds fan but liverpool FC are a unique football club always thinking of true supporters well done fr making Eric happy man
I wasn't ready.
God bless you Eric and you also Kenny ,,, what a lovely thing to do ,,
Im not a liverpool fan, but i am a fan of what Liverpool and Dalglish did for this lovely old man, well done all concerned
Spurs fan here, writing a comment through tear filled eyes. What a lovely thing for Eric to have met Kenny D and also having gone to the last game of the season. This sort of thing is what the clubs
should be doing to connect with the fans, no matter what age. Much respect to L.F.C. and Nivea
for their kindness. Rest in Peace old son.
Definitely something that gets lost as football becomes more globalised and less about the locals
His reaction to meeting King Kenny was class .. R.I.P Eric.
i think that's the love that all we feel the same.
Like a little schoolboy meeting his hero. Amazing.
Love how Kenny talks to Eric like he's known him all his life ❤
I'm not a Liverpool fan but have been an admirer of both the club and in particular two men, Bill Shankley and Kenny Dalglish, above all, for their integrity, who would have thought from a lad originally from Buenos Aires and a lifelong Boca Juniors fan. Congratulation to Eric, may he rest in peace, wonderful to see this.
RIP Eric, from a Celtic fan
And from a Manchester United fan, I thought this was absolutely brilliant and heartwarming, kenny dalglish is an absolute legend for sure and to me this is one of the best things about football, connecting people, it was great to see Eric beaming with delight, may he rest in peace
From a Man Utd fan, I have to say how deserving and what a top guy King Kenny is. Liverpool are a class team and he would have thoroughly enjoyed his day
Must admit at the age of 67 I had a tear, wish this world could be a better place.
Dalglish has class running through his dna. Had it as a player, and as a human being.
I’m a Man U fan, but this was brilliant,well done Liverpool.
the end of that video just broke a heart i never knew i had, so pleased Eric got to meet Kenny and see the lads play on the final day of the season RIP Eric Y.N.W.A
We all have a heart.Life and her moments just make us hide it away#YNWA🥰🥰
Choked me up this, God bless him, so sad he's passed. He got to see his mighty reds one last time, where he belonged.
You can imagine him walking up to the pearly gates with a big smile on his face saying “ you will never believe who came to visit me!”
RIP Eric
Hopefully he will meet Bill Shankly and Bob Paisley in heaven.
What a brilliant thing to do. Absolute class, Liverpool FC, King Kenny and Nivea 👏👏
So glad Eric got to have one last visit to Anfield.
RIP Eric
Emotional this one. We are definitely at our best when we act through love and compassion.
Rest in Peace Eric💗
#YNWA
Top man Kenny Dalglish. Great player and Manager…….that’s a phrase that can be used for only a small number of men.
From a Manchester united fan , this was wonderful yet sad but shows just why we all love football , R.I.P Eric , glad you had one final day to remember on you journey , well done kenny dalglish :)
Aww I love your comment.
Well done kenny , RIP to Eric gone but never forgotten ❤️
I’m a 48 year old Villa fan and that brought a tear to my eye. Well done Kenny. RIP Eric.
RIP Eric YNWA - what a legend King Kenny is 👏👏 made an old man very happy 👊 so good to see Eric at Anfield 😁😁 what a memorable day for him. Well done Nivea Men. 👏👏👏👏 YNWA
To meet Kenny and go and watch one last game at Anfield was all he wanted .. RIP Eric .. 🙏
Kenny Dalglish is a legend and among the icons of world football!! He was awesome for Celtic, Liverpool and Scotland especially against the "auld enemy"!! Oh ..how we miss those British Home Internationals!!
Not a Liverpool fan but I've gotta say that this was brilliant and very classy by them to treat this fella to vip match and a personal visit by Kenny Dalglish, bless him and I'm glad he got to Anfield one last time 👍👌👏
Fantastic!! A true gentleman Kenny, one of the greatest players of all time,RIP Eric, people like you make football the beautiful game, from a Celtic supporter 💚🍀
Lost my Grandad who was a lifelong Liverpool fan in February so the ending really got me. What a lovely man Eric is, This has got me sobbing rest in peace Eric YNWA
Stay strong. YNWA
Kenny is a class act, always has been.
RIP Eric
Rest in peace Bra Eric, I know your spirit is with our boys. I've been following the Reds for 50 years now from South Africa. My wish is to see them live before my dying day. Once a Red, always a Red.
This is the story of "Once a red, always a red!" You listen quietly you can hear the echo's of fans from many a year in the stadium. It really is a special place! Love to all those who once passed through the gates! We are all bonded together to make this club a special one.
Proper football club !!! Class
And I'm a villa fan
Well done Liverpool.
😭 The joy on his face. I am so pleased he got to visit Anfield one more time. Forever a Red.
From a Celtic fan I'm so glad Eric made it to Anfield. Well done to King Kenny and RIP Eric.
YNWA 💚 GOD BLESSED THEM BOTH🙏
❤❤❤❤
AN OLD MAN BACK TO CHILD WHEN HE MET HIS FAVORITE PLAYER KENNY, THAT'S THE LOVE, THAT I FEEL THE SAME. REST IN PEACE ERIC...
From an Everton fan that broke my heart ..that was class from Liverpool and Kenny 💙
From a Villa fan. Class all round. Proper gentleman, and what a fitting finale for a proper guy. Well done Kenny. YNWA.
I work in a care home and get to meet loads of characters.
This kind of stuff just makes me weep, it's a beautiful thing to do and a beautiful gesture.
Well done to Nivea Men and Liverpool FC.
Been a reds supporter since 1985/86 season.
Had little tears in my eyes all the way through then the floodgates opened. So glad Eric got to meet King Kenny and get to Anfield one last time. RIP Eric the Mighty Red. Xx
That last slide got me lump in my throat and tear to my eyes… this is why I love this club
You need to get that lump checked out ;)
Godbless the two of these great men
YNWA Eric.
@@lfcspectre4335 💯 at least he got back one last time.
He got to a good auld age tbf bud I’d take it if I was offered 🙏🏻
Reminded me of my old man who also passed away in june. We got to see Liverpool beat leeds 6-0 with my son. It is because of the older generations passion for Liverpool that so many millions are now Liverpool fans. At the match another old gentleman went out of his way to show us where our seats were and told us to use lift when the gane was over he told a steward to wait at full tine to guude us to the lift. I think villa do a vip ticket free every week hope Liverpool do the same. Liverpool fans make the club and so many support the club because of fathers/mothers and grandparents. RIP Paddy Quinlan and Eric YNWA
❣️
So pleased Man City won the title again.
@@MrJokerlad19 Good.
Thanks for coming here and commenting respectfully
@@edglue6138 shameful and disrespectful that diana one there Ed, you just gotta overlook these types, not only did she disrespect the club but more importantly she disrespected the absolute Gentleman featured, YNWA
@@MrJokerlad19 Something wrong with you
That's the reason we have this wonderful human being as an ambassador for LFC.
RIP Eric and many blessings to your family. Such life and enthusiasm at such an age. Inspirational.
Sir Kenny is my idol, to me he is Liverpool Football Club, this video is so heartwarming and yes, I cried at the end. R.I.P Eric, you'll never ever walk alone ❤️
Awww bloody he’ll rip Eric, what a club best club in the world
To Eric's family so sorry for your loss what a wonderful man, ❤
Aww wonderful surprise for the old fella. YNWA. RIP fellow Liverpool fan. 😢
Bless him! Well done everyone ,King kenmy and LFC
Class 🥲 RIP Eric, was just thinking he must have had a strong heart being there on the final day, because i was hardly coping watching at home.
Well that was a kick in the bolloks wasn't it, just enjoying the story of a lifelong fan getting to see the Reds again and meeting Kenny. And then at the end we hear that he had sadly died, crusher, but at lease he got to go to Anfield one last time.
I didn’t see that coming at the end , what a great guy eric was , it’s emotional watching these surprises because these guys and girls live and breathe Liverpool, RIP eric
Liverpool are the best club in the world, proud to be a red.❤️
Kenny is an absolute diamond. RIP Eric, God bless
Your in Heaven! Thank you Kenny and LFC for giving a beautiful man a wish come true! God bless🙏🕯🇨🇮🇺🇲
Rip Eric❤️I’d cry my eyes out if I got to meet King Kenny, my hero.
King Kenny is a very special person!
Salford City fan here. It's wonderful to be reminded that there is a lot of goodness that goes unnoticed in the game. Huge respect to Kenny Dalglish and Liverpool FC for that heartwarming act of kindness to that gentleman. Absolute class all round! Now where's that hanky as I've got something in my eye!
As a Man Utd fan, hat off to Kenny, Liverpool and Nivea. So sad of his passing, but so pleased he managed one final trip to see his beloved Liverpool (sadly for him not the season he would have wished but his team did him proud).
Absolute gentleman, both of them.
Rest in peace Eric. I Hope the rest of us can stay thankful for the club we have and what we have in our lives like you have. You are a true champion. YNWA
Ah that was wonderful. So happy he got to meet his hero and get to Anfield one final time....RIP Eric YNWA
How very sad Eric's recent death must have been to all who knew him.
Yes, Kenny must indeed have made Eric's day with that visit. Both of them true members of the worldwide LFC family.
🎵 We'd walk a million miles, for one of your smiles, oh Kenny 🎵
RIP ERIC YNWA
Really wonderful, Two wonderful Legends, Eric with sound character to cope with the lockdown in his care home.
Much Love to his Lovely family on their loss. 🙏🏽💖
Thanks Nivea, Thanks King Kenny, and RIP Eric. Enjoy the match with Bill and Bob.
Two Legends on our screen right there!
I’m a Newcastle fan but fully appreciate the love shown to such a humble man. Rest In Peace my friend, well done liverpool for recognizing these people.❤️respect
Class, two great men of different generations, RIP Eric.
God Bless you Eric!!!! YNWA!!! The next time I go to Anfield, I will find comfort in knowing you will be sitting beside all of us.....watching the Mighty Reds!!!
God bless Eric - how lovely that he got to live his dreams in the finals moments of life. Well done Liverpool and Kenny from a Blackpool fan. x
As an old city fan this is very heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time Kenny made Liverpool exciting to watch back then he has a heart as big as Liverpool but lovely to see erics reaction it was really touching R.I.P hope youre happy wherever you are

God Bless The People of Liverpool, RIP Eric, YNWA NEVER
This is pure class. You see the twinkle in the man's eyes when he meets Kenny. Like a kid meeting his childhood hero. Even do he's way older then Kenny.

YNWA !!
Once a Red, always a Red.... R.I.P. Eric Farrington.
I was smiling till the end loverly man RIP Eric 👍👍
We have rivalries in football, we have disagreements in football, we have highs and we have lows, but what we all really do have is a common love of the game whoever we support and it’s the passion shown by Eric, for Liverpool FC and the generosity of the time given by the likes of Kenny Dalgleish that made an old man’s final days so happy that fills me with hope that we are really all one, truly connected and united fans of the game we all love whatever our allegiance’s and differences are.
RIP Eric. YNWA.
Gets me all the time these videos rest in peace Eric I worked as a career for 20 years and I wanted to take one of my patients to Anfield as a birthday present his name was frankie hennell but covid got him and I never got the opportunity to take him back which haunts me to this day this video is beautiful thank you for doing it for Eric a liverpool legend imange the stories he could have told us All rest in peace Eric you.ll never walk alone 🙏🙏🙏
God bless you Alan for what you do for a living, very rewarding and no doubt tough number at times, RIP Eric 🙏 ❤
RIP Eric x A Very touching video and class from LFC and King Kenny to make this gentleman’s day ❤️ YNWA Eric 👊❤️
That was great , Rest in peace from a Villa fan , what a lovely fella .
Liverpool for Life !
Oh my God. What an amazing video. Broke my heart at the end
Rip Eric what a legend what a story you shared with us YNWA!!
I miss the old melwood. It had more of a community feel. Players would pass more through the city and see the people of this passionate and beautiful city. I live a 3 minute drive from melwood. I miss it so much. Also Eric is a true Liverpool fan. He seen us when we was terrible in the second division. And seen us the best in England.
Thanks very much Kenny. Making his dream come true before he past away. What a club lfc are. Special..
Just when you think that all humanity has failed, beautiful things do happen . God bless Eric rip.
Brilliant to see the club and the sponsors make this supporters day for a man who had supported the team since 1939 to say Kenny was his favourite player is a massive compliment when you consider the players that have played over that period. Just a really decent thing to do for the man. Sorry to see he has since passed.
Eric would have seen it all as a Liverpool fan. Hard to believe but in the 50's Liverpool were a second division side. Eric had the experience of watching Liverpool develop from a mediocre side to one of the best in the world.
From a teary eyed West Bromwich Albion fan. Total class from Kenny Dalglish and Liverpoo FC. Thank You for creating a magical day for Eric, I am sure it was a wonderful experience for him. Brilliant. RIP Eric old lad.
Well done guys, what a gesture to a lifelong fan! Despite bring a diehard United fan myself since 1973 and rivalry aside, what you did was exemplary to what football is all about - connecting to those who support you thick and thin throughout. I would like to wish Liverpool FC the best of luck in the coming season and can’t wait to restart our rivalry again in the best possible manner!
Oh boy that was so beautiful and then that last slide woah that did me - so sad RIP kind Sir what a joy it is to see such great men give there time for the common person - YNWA
As a blue I love this video, rivalry apart we have good hearts and this is an amazing touch from a true legend. When Eric said he watched Liverpool from the age of 10 I remembered my first game at Goodison at age 9. Only a mile apart across Stanley Park with such a huge divergence of passionate fans. Amazing!
Class all round, brilliant from Kenny and the game ticked a big box in his life before he safely left. RIP Eric x
ONCE A RED ALWAYS A RED WELL DONE KING KENNY AS ALWAYS BOSS!GOD BLESS YA ERIC MAY THE SPIRIT OF SHANKLY GUIDE YOU HOME TILL WE MEET AGAIN OUR FELLOW KOPITE BROTHER! UP THROUGH THE SHANKLY GATES WE GO!! YNWA..🙏RIP✌️🕊️
RIP Eric you’ll never walk alone ✊❤️respect to sir kenny daglish what a gentleman class 👍
Norwich fan. This was brilliant. 100% respect for all associated with LFC. That gentleman and Kenny are what football means to most of us true fans of the game.
Not a dry eye here. RIP Eric.
My god what a person!
Tears here.
What a Man.
RIP Eric. YNWA
Wow what a great story and lovely to see him with Kenny at Anfield - R.I.P
