This heartwarming video captures the moment a disabled young Liverpool fan broke down in tears to the club's anthem during his first ever visit to Anfield.

Daire Gorman's emotional reaction has been seen millions of times on social media and captured the hearts of strangers around the world.

The youngster's dad Kenny, 48, took the video to save the moment he sang along to You'll Never Walk Alone before their game against Aston Villa on Sunday.

But he was not expecting such an emotional reaction from 11-year-old Daire, who was born without arms or femur bones.

In the clip, he is overcome with emotion as the club’s anthem is played on the tannoy.

It's one of the most iconic songs in world football and the entire crowd joins in with scarves aloft.

But for Daire, the emotion is too much as he is seen struggling to sing along and has to wipe tears from his eyes at one point.

Mum Shelley, 42, said it took her three days to watch the full video because she was so overcome with emotion.

She said: "Kenny took the video to capture the experience of Daire singing You'll Never Walk Alone. He never expected Daire to be so emotional.

"I just cried when I saw the video. I actually only watched the full video yesterday because everytime I watched it, I just broke down because he's so emotional.

"It was something he's wanted to do for years, it really was a dream come true for him."

Daire, from Monaghan, Ireland, was born with the extremely rare condition Crommelin Syndrome.

The condition caused him to be born with no arms from the elbows down and he's also missing femur bones in both legs meaning he is in a wheelchair full-time.

Shelley said the footy-mad lad had wanted to go to see his beloved team live for most of his life, but wheelchair accessible tickets are so limited she gave up hope.

But Little Blue Heroes - a charity run by Irish police officers - organised the trip ahead of his twelfth birthday next week.

As well as a stadium tour with his parents and youngster sister Aoife, six, on Saturday he was able to watch Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday.

Ted Morris, chairman of the Liverpool Disabled Supporters' Association, gifted his wheelchair bay to Daire for the game.

Shelley added: "We tried for so long to get tickets and we couldn't, it's so hard to get wheelchair accessible tickets.

"I'd actually given up hope of getting tickets. He was going to ask for them for Christmas this year and I was thinking 'how am I going to do that?'

"The charity are great, we only learned about them this year but they make children's dreams come true and they're just there for you when you need help.

"And Ted is amazing, he was so good to do that. Daire will be forever grateful for that.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, he might never get to do that again. We're forever grateful to Ted for it."

Since the clip was shared online, Shelley says she's been overwhelmed by the reaction.

It has been viewed millions of times on social media, with users commenting how it has touched them.

Shelley, who is Daire's full-time carer, added: "It's been an unbelievable reaction.

"To get such positivity and for Daire to see how much love people have for him has been amazing. People can be quite cruel to children in a wheelchair.

"We've shown him some of the comments and he's been overwhelmed with the love and support. He's still buzzing, he was still crying yesterday.

"For people to take time to comment and watch the video, it's just amazing that there's so many kind people out there."

Daire said of the day: "It was like an out of body experience."

Ted Morris, who helped arrange the trip and gifted his wheelchair bay for Daire to enjoy the game, said: "It's a privilege to be able to help disabled children realise their dreams at Anfield.

"In a world that sometimes seems so dark, being able to bring a small ray of light into their lives can make such a difference."

A spokesperson for Little Blue Heroes said: "We cannot thank Ted Morris from Liverpool Disabled supporters Association, Stephen Smith from Cavan and our rep for the Cavan/Monaghan region for coming together to make Honorary Garda Daire Gorman.

"They truly made is dream of a lifetime to come through and the raw emotion of Daire in the video says it all. Teamwork to make a dream work."
