Dave?
Your Chris said can you just come and check this? Because I can't do it properly.
Alright.
Alright?
So today, with the help of NIVEA MEN,
I was meant to go and surprise a lifelong Liverpool fan
who has had a bit of a tough time this year.
His wife Angela and his sister Chris contacted the club
to see if we could do something special for him.
Given the circumstances I wasn't able to go to his house,
but we've arranged a video call, so hopefully that can put a smile on his face.
♫ We've conquered all of Europe... ♫
Obviously I got a letter from you and Angela about David,
do you want to tell us about your brother and why you wrote in?
He's just a genuinely lovely guy, he's got a heart of gold,
a great dad, yeah, he's just a lovely guy.
And a big Red as well, a big Liverpool fan?
Oh, my gosh, my dad and Dave have had a season ticket in the Main Stand forever, really,
most of our David's life anyway.
Everything revolves around the fixture list - including his wedding.
So I know it's been a difficult few months for your family.
Yeah, it's been horrendous, absolutely awful.
My mum, bless her, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer,
she died exactly a month later.
And then on the 10th of November, which was the day we battered City,
I was ringing my dad and he wasn't answering, which was out of character,
and when I went round, he'd fallen down the stairs and broken his neck.
That was five weeks to the day after losing my mum.
Our Dave took it particularly bad, because him and my dad were best mates.
It's been awful, yeah.
Well, I'm so sorry to hear that, obviously there's nothing I can say,
but hopefully we can try and cheer him up a bit today with this phone call.
We're about to do the video call with our Dave,
he thinks he's gonna be helping me with something for work and he's no idea
that Jordan Henderson is gonna be joining us.
I can't wait to see his reaction.
I've had to move, the wi-fi's gonna go off.
Dave?
Your Chris said can you just come and check this? I can't do it properly.
Alright.
Alright?
What it is, Dave, we've got a little surprise for you.
Someone wants to say hello to you.
Hiya, David.
How you doing?
Good!
This was meant to be face-to-face,
NIVEA MEN arranged for me to come to your house to see you,
but unfortunately, given the circumstances, we can't do that.
So this is why we're on the call!
Wow...
How are you coping anyway?
Yeah, not bad, thanks, Jordan.
It's just at the match, we haven't been the match for a few weeks obviously,
but at the match that's where I miss him most,
because we sat together for so long, and the day before he died I shook hands with him
and said, "Pick you up tomorrow for City."
We would talk and I said, "It's gonna be this year, it's gonna be this year",
and he'd be like, "Don't know, City are probably still the team."
And ever since that day we've just flown.
As made up as I am, sometimes I think,
"I wish my dad could see this", know what I mean?
Oh, yeah, I get that.
I used to go all round Europe, everywhere, until I had my kids.
I had kids late, Jordan, and I had to sort of stop the European games,
and all my family, they tried to get me a ticket for Madrid,
and I managed to get a ticket the week before, and I gave it to my dad,
and then obviously with what's happened...
it was the best decision I've ever made.
Not a day goes by, it has, it's been hard.
Football gives you that release, I've always said it,
and when they sing You'll Never Walk Alone
I look to my right and can kind of feel my dad's with me.
But...I don't know, no-one can explain how you're gonna feel until it happens.
There's no right way or wrong way of dealing with it.
Really sorry to hear about that. Just try to stay as positive as you can,
and at the minute as well it's so difficult, the times that we're in,
but hopefully in the future, when we get back on the pitch,
we can put a smile back on your face.
Ah, you've put a smile on my face, I can't believe it, this is mad!
These things don't happen to me!
She said to me, "Have a shave, get dressed", and I'm thinking, "Where we going?"
She's playing bingo in the close later, you know, shouting across the road to the houses,
and I'm saying, "I'm not playing bingo."
"No, no, but still get dressed, have a shave."
I'd just like to say though, what a season you've been having,
you've been unbelievable.
For me, Player of the Season, you've been fantastic.
Oh, thanks, mate, appreciate that.
- Hiya, mate. - Hi.
Who's your favourite player?
You.
You had to say that, didn't you?
Just obviously before we go, got a couple of surprises in store for you
when things get back to some sort of normality.
NIVEA MEN have arranged for you and your family to come to Melwood
to meet me and the lads.
Wow.
NIVEA MEN would also like to pay for two season tickets for next season.
Wow.
Again, hopefully that gives you something to look forward to.
But more importantly, I'm just really looking forward to meeting you in person,
you and your family, because you seem like a great guy
and you've had a tough time. Stay positive, keep smiling,
and hopefully we'll see each other again soon.
You're an absolute gentleman.
I can't thank you enough, I mean that, really can't thank you enough,
and my sisters and my family and whoever sorted this, I can't believe it.
Nah, the pleasure's all mine, honestly.
D'you know what, Jordan, honestly, it's just made my life.
Thank you very much indeed.
Wow. Can't believe it.
That was brilliant, that's just the best ever.
The best.
