An elderly fan of the English club, Liverpool, aged 99, grabbed the attention on social media platforms, with a video clip that documented his activity and enthusiasm in encouraging the Reds while he was wearing a muzzle and walking on a stick that he leaned on to encourage the team on the field.
Luzi Westhead, a former employee of the English club, posted the video on her Twitter account, and commented on it, saying, "Almost 99 years .. he goes to every game, he has seen Liverpool win all the titles except 4 .. But I still can't keep up with him." .

In response to the question of one of her followers about the 4 titles that the fan did not attend, she said that they were the first English Premier League titles for the team in 1901, 1906, 1922 and 1923.
The first 4 league titles and the 4th one was the year he was born so the titles from 1900–01, 1905–06, 1921–22, 1922-23 👍🏼
