Liverpool fan Alfie Radford made quite an impression on left back Andy Robertson after the Scot heard about the young fan's generosity.

Radford wanted to make a difference in the community and used his own pocket money to do his bit for foodbanks at Anfield ahead of the Champions League second leg against Porto.

Robertson, in a letter to the youngster, said that the gesture will 'stay with me for a long time' and he wanted to make sure the actions were rewarded.

Firmino is one of Liverpool's biggest stars and Robertson believed that the Brazilian's shirt was better than his own

In the letter Robertson said: 'That is brilliant from you and sets an example to the rest of us that showing a little care and thought for others is really important - it's also very Liverpool!'

The Scotland international accompanied the personal letter with a signed Roberto Firmino shirt and assured the young supporter that he will 'make sure all the lads hear about what you've done'.

But while news of Radford's gesture clearly had an impact on Robertson, the defender felt that he should send the shirt of one of the club's biggest stars as 'no one wants the left back's shirt'.

The Brazilian was more than happy to oblige after hearing the young fan's story and the young fan's dad Tom shared a photo of the shirt on his Instagram page.

The Fans Supporting Foodbanks movement, which Radford was supporting, is a unique partnership between the Everton Supporters' Trust and Liverpool supporters' group, Spirit Of Shankly.
