James Milner got Liverpool's open top bus to stop outside the house of a Hillsborough survivor so he could show him the European Cup.

The moving gesture by the club's vice-captain took place following the end of the Reds' victory parade around the city on Sunday which attracted a crowd in excess of 750,000.

The bus was heading back to Melwood just after 8pm when Milner requested that it stopped outside the south Liverpool home of Andrew Devine.

The 53-year-old has been confined to a wheelchair since the serious injuries he suffered at Hillsborough in 1989.

When the bus pulled up, Andrew was outside and Milner leant over the side of the bus to show him the gleaming trophy.

Andrew's mother Hilary told the ECHO: "It was a very kind gesture and it made Andrew's day."

The Liverpool midfielder had previously met Andrew during visits to the Melwood training ground.

It was a classy touch by Milner, who came off the bench in Madrid to help the Reds secure their sixth European crown with a 2-0 win over Tottenham.

Andrew was a devoted 22-year-old Liverpool fan from Mossley Hill, who was working for the Post Office, when he attended the FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough back in 1989.

After his chest was crushed and his brain deprived of oxygen, he was put on a life support machine and wasn't expected to survive the day.

However, 30 years on he lives in the family home in Liverpool with devoted parents Stanley and Hilary with the help of 24-hour professional care.
