Liverpool fans have reacted to an emotional club video which shows defender Virgil van Dijk surprising a lifelong Red at work and showing him around the club’s training facilities.

David Lyons, a supporter who works in ASDA, got the surprise of his life when the £75m centre back approached him in the car park and whisked him off for a VIP tour of Melwood and to meet the players.
