Irish footballer Caoimhin Kelleher has been branded a “legend” following his appearance on The Late Late Toy Show.
The Liverpool goalkeeper, who hails from Cork, appeared on the show to surprise a young fan named Cealan.
After Cealan shared his dream of becoming a footballer, host Ryan Tubridy asked him to practise his penalties while wearing a blindfold.

Much to his surprise, Cealan found his favourite goalkeeper standing in front of him when he removed his blindfold.
If that wasn’t enough, Caoimhin gifted Cealan his own goalie gloves, a jersey signed by the entire Liverpool team, and offered to fly him and his family over to Liverpool to attend one of their games at Anfield.
It’s safe to say viewers were touched by the sports star’s kind gesture, and took to Twitter to praise him.
