and they don't know I'm coming, so we've got to be quiet, we've got to be very quiet.

Yeah? Have I been bad? What am I coming in for, Miss?

Oh, God.

Joe, George.

I love to play football, and it's just like my dream to play for Liverpool.

I love Liverpool as much as, like, any football team.

My favourite players are Mignolet, Gerrard,

Jon Flanagan, Suarez...and Sturridge.

He's a really good player. He can sometimes make some things a bit wrong,

but he's all right.

Hello, I'm a Liverpool fan and my favourite player is Daniel Sturridge.

And I have my own celebration. My own celebration is a front flip.

Whoa! Daniel Sturridge!

DANIEL LAUGHS

What's happening, mate, you all right?

I think his goal celebration's really funny.

Probably give it like a five.

DANIEL LAUGHS

What's happening, player?

It's meant to be a sign of my top three Liverpool players.

My first one's Sturridge.

Thank you. Thank you so much for that.

Whoaaa!

- How you doing, you all right? - Yeah.

Hugs, hugs.

Hello, mate!

- How you doing? - I'm good.

- You all right? - Yeah.

I think you got to do better though, in my opinion.

I think you've got to, like, get into it a bit more.

Does that mean number one, or am I just part of the three?

You're top one.

Top one? I'd take that every day.

Is he focusing in school?

Beautiful, that's what I like to hear. That's the main thing, you've got to focus in school.

So what positions do you play, do you play football?

BOTH: Striker. - Both strikers as well?

What foot are yous? BOTH: Left.

You're both left-footed? You're both just like me, basically.

You do the celebration, you're both left-footed, you're both strikers...

Why did you come to Liverpool?

Because of you.

That or something...

- All right, mate? - Hi.

How you doing? What's your name?

- Isaac. - Isaac, yeah?

- How old are you? - Eight.

I mean seven!

Not Sunday, the Sunday after I had a dance competition and I won a trophy.

Show me some moves then, breakdancing, do something!

No.

You want to have a dance competition in this place?

I can do flips and trips, dips and daps.

It could get crazy in here.

She doesn't know who I am, she doesn't know I play football,

she ain't got a clue about who I am,

but, you know... I'm coming in.

I'm Daniel, hi.

Are you an Everton fan?

Most of the cool people support Liverpool.

I think you're cool.

That's strange, because every time I look out the window

all the Liverpool players come to school in a dustbin.

In a dustbin?

Whoa!

- Big fan of Mignolet. - Mignolet?

What about me, you not a fan of mine?

- Big fan of yours. - Respect, respect.

I thought you were gonna say I wasn't up there, I was getting upset.

Judge Studge in the building.

You've got to start bouncing with it, get into it. I love that, that's what I'm talking about.

Yous actually can do it perfect.

I don't understand how... How'd you get so good at it?

I watch it a lot.

You've got to keep your arms out and just like...

..sway. I can't believe you're getting it so quick, it's crazy.

Just make out you don't care when you're doing it, but you really do care.

HE LAUGHS

Obviously you're getting it right, but I need to see a bit more, I need you to get into it.

With your face, don't even make out you care, just chilling, just chilling out right now.

Throw a little smile in there. Let me see what you're made of.

DANIEL LAUGHS

I like that, I like that.

- What's your celebration? - A front flip.

- A fro... Huh? - A front flip.

I can't do a front flip, you know.

I was going to say, "Let's do your celebration together", but obviously...

This guy's got too much in his locker. I don't know what to say to you.

Throw a few shapes in there. Just make out like...

Love that! All right, man, let's get out of here.

KIDS CHEER

I just want to say, thanks for having me here, it's been lovely to meet you all,

are we going to do the dance together or...?

ALL: Yes!

Cool, let's go.

GIRL: I can't do it.

You can do it. You got it in your locker, I can see.

Right, I'm getting tired right now, but I'm going to keep going.

First one to stop.

KIDS: # We love you, Sturridge, we do!

KIDS: # We love you, Sturridge, we do!

KIDS: # Oh, Sturridge, we love you! #

Oh, thank you so much, nice to meet you guys, yeah?

See you later.

Met Daniel Sturridge. And I nearly fell off my chair.

I was so surprised that...that man came in.

I was speechless.

It was the opportunity of a lifetime.

I felt like crying, but I didn't.

I can't believe I've just met my hero.

It's been a great day, this is Daniel Sturridge signing off for Kop Kids.

I want to let you know that I've had a great time today,

and I'd love to do this again.

Signing off, over and out, D Studgey D.
