LIVERPOOL FC: YOUNG RED WHO'LL NEVER WALK ALONE

/noticias.info/ For eight-year-old scouser James Lamb and proud dad James, Liverpool winning the Champions League was extra special because the Lamb family once thought it was day that might not happen.
You see James Lamb, from Broadgreen, needed a heart transplant at the age of one and doctors told his mother Carla and her partner James that their one-year-old son would die within six months unless a new heart was found.

Thankfully at the eleventh hour a heart was found in Germany and was soon on its way to the UK. James pulled through and now he is the picture of health and about to join his first football team.

An emotional mum Carla said: "I remember kissing him goodbye before he went for his surgery, he looked so little. I thought it was the last time I would see him alive.

"We didn't think he would pull through and all we could do was cry and cry. But he is a little fighter, he came through it and has surprised everyone."

Back in May James junior and senior watched Liverpool win the European Cup for the fifth time and dad James said: "He looked at me at the end of a 3-1 victory and said, 'My heart's mum and dad might be watching in that crowd.'

"It summed up what a caring child he has become and how he still thinks about who gave him his new heart.

"He is a football fanatic - a real little Kopite, and he knows all the songs. His ambition is to be a mascot for a Liverpool against Newcastle match. He had his operation in Newcastle so that is his second team really.

"He's a good player as well. The FA have now given him permission to join his first football team and we were delighted when he was selected for Warner Grove under 10s.

"We waited for the phone call all evening and jumped round the living room like we had won the lottery when we heard.

"It is a credit to the medical teams at Alder Hey and in Newcastle that he is doing so well today.

"I never thought I would be able to do all the normal things with James when he was so ill. But the day we both watched the Champions League final together was the best day of my life - not because the team won, but because I had experienced it with James who was singing his little donated heart out with pride. He jumped into my arms when we won and told me I was the best dad in the world." notas_de_prensa_archivo
