Little Liverpool FC Fan Will Cheer On His Hero Torres In World Cup Final

Since five-year-old Daniel McCartney announced he was supporting Spain in the World Cup, he has had to put up with a fair bit of stick from his classmates.

But he is hoping to have the last laugh on Sunday when the European Champions take on Holland in the final – and for his hero, Fernando Torres, to grab the winner.

Daniel, a pupil at Trinity primary school, in Vauxhall, has a full Spanish kit, and persuaded mum Kate, 30, and dad Andrew 31, to deck out their home in Avington Close, West Derby, with the Iberian country’s flag.

Daniel, who is brother to five-month-old Mae, said: “I like Fernando Torres because of the goals he scores and I want him to do the same for Spain on Sunday.”

Like other Reds fans all over the world, Daniel is hoping his favourite striker comes back for another season at Anfield.
