Loyd's a fun-loving little character, he just loves life.
Just a special little boy, really.
Up to the age of six, he was in mainstream school, coping really well in school,
he had slight developmental delay, he was behind a little bit in milestones,
but he wasn't disabled.
And when he was six, he acquired brain damage.
Which was caused through undiagnosed encephalitis.
He got put into an induced coma, and when he came around he just regressed.
He was just a child that couldn't sit up, he couldn't walk, he couldn't talk,
he was tube fed.
Ten years on, and his spirit is just amazing,
he's conquered it all, really, and he's a little miracle.
Loyd's a massive Liverpool fan, he watches it all the time on the television,
he gets his instruments out and shakes them.
LOYD: Come on.
He's got teddies and they're all named after the players.
I contacted Make-A-Wish Foundation. Loyd's biggest wish is to meet Jürgen Klopp.
I think just because of Jürgen's attitude - he's smiley, he's happy, he loves his hugs.
Loyd said, "Oh, I'd love a bear hug off Jürgen", and as the season started
we got a phone call saying that Loyd's been accepted for the wish.
You're not excited one bit, are you(?)
I am really excited!
REALLY EXCITED!
HELEN LAUGHS
It means the world to see Loyd's face lit up.
And what do you think about Jürgen Klopp?
I love him feeling happy.
His voice.
What else do you think about him?
Whoopee!
He's all happy and bouncy when they score?
How excited are you to meet him, Loyd?
Really, a lot.
It was my first game against Tottenham.
It was not the best game in the world, but the first game is always quite special.
As you can see, he's rather excited, aren't you?
You get off the seat and jump around.
Oh, this is you, he's saying this is what you do when we score.
Oh, my God.
I'm probably not the best role model in these moments.
What's your favourite colour?
Right, he'd like to know what your favourite colour is?
Red, actually. It was like this all my life, I cannot really explain,
but my first club I was a fan of is Stuttgart,
and they have white with a red ring here.
What's your favourite drink?
I'm not sure that we can say this!
My grandmother had a brewery, so I really, to be honest, I like beer.
I like the taste, I know a lot of people say, "It's not my drink", but I like the taste, so beer.
What's your favourite holiday?
Oh, where'd you like to go on holiday?
I don't think a lot about holidays, but I always follow my missus.
- Can I ask a question, Loyd? - Yeah.
Who is your favourite player?
Salah.
Salah? Oh!
And Mane.
Good choice, good choice! Not too bad.
And what did you think last Saturday?
HELEN: When we played Man City, what happened?
Oh, no!
Switch off the television, or you watched it?
He watched it all, but he was sat there like this for a bit of it.
- Or for most of it. - Like me.
He watches the television and shakes his instruments.
I was just wondering whether you'd be able to sign this.
So the next time you shake your instrument, Loyd, it'll bring us good luck, eh?
There we go, how's that?
Can you show me how you do it?
Come on, Liverpool!
And what else do you do?
HE SINGS: You'll never walk alone.
That's it, yeah.
Jürgen: Oh, my God, really nice. HELEN: Well done, Loyd.
Thank you. It was a big pleasure.
HELEN: It's emotional, it's overwhelming to see him so happy.
I don't think he can quite believe it, it's just a little bit surreal at the moment.
