A young Red recently enjoyed a dream day out when he met Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard, manager Brendan Rodgers and all of his heroes during a special visit to Melwood.

James Baulch was welcomed to the club's training complex before having photographs taken with the boss, striker Luis Suarez and more of the Liverpool squad.

Then later in the day, James was fortunate enough to meet Reds skipper Gerrard face-to-face as the Liverpool No.8 signed copies of his new book 'My Liverpool Story'.

His parents accompanied James throughout the trip and described the experience as 'heartwarming' and 'the best day of his life', revealing their son had not stopped talking about the visit since.
