Liverpool to Be Led Out for Cup Final by 12-Year-Old Fan with Leukaemia

Liverpool take on Manchester City in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday, and they will be led onto the Wembley pitch by a young fan with leukaemia.

Adam Lacy, 12, will walk out with his heroes under the famous arch—and he even intends to wear a cap like Reds boss Jurgen Klopp.

The talented young footballer was chosen for the occasion after being put forward by CHICS, a charity that supports the families of children with cancer.

He will attend the match in London with his dad, Paul, while his older brother, Matthew, and mum, Lynne, will watch from home.
