It was an emotional moment for Liverpool fans on Tuesday as news broke that Kostas Tsimikas, affectionately known as the “Greek Scouser,” would be leaving Anfield to join Serie A side Roma. Among the many tributes pouring in, one stood out for its sincerity and warmth—that of young Liverpool fan Isaac Kearney, whose bond with the players has captured the hearts of supporters worldwide.
On his social media, Isaac shared a touching farewell message to Tsimikas, writing:
“Not a post we wanted to write But massive Good Luck to our Greek Scouser @tsimikas21 !!!! My guy! Thank you for always being so kind I will see you soon ”
For Isaac, this was more than just a goodbye. Tsimikas has been one of the players who consistently showed him kindness during visits to Anfield, training sessions, and behind-the-scenes meet-ups. Their connection was clear—not just between a player and a fan, but between two people who truly valued each other’s company.
Tsimikas’ time at Liverpool may not always have been in the headlines, but he quickly became a fan favourite. His character, energy, and willingness to step up in crucial moments made him a beloved figure. For Isaac, though, what mattered most was the kindness the defender always showed off the pitch.
Isaac’s mother has often shared how deeply emotional these bonds are for her son, who lives with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. “The emotion is written all over his face,” she once explained. “Sometimes, he looks like he’s about to cry, clutching the club’s crest on his shirt. His dedication is unbelievable.” Players like Tsimikas helped make that love for football even more special.
Now, as Tsimikas prepares for a new adventure in Rome, Isaac’s message is a reminder of how deeply football connects people. Supporters may remember Tsimikas for the moments on the pitch—like his decisive penalty in the FA Cup final—but Isaac will remember him as the player who always took time to smile, to greet him, and to show genuine kindness.
For Isaac, this is not the end but simply a pause. His words, “I will see you soon,” carry the hope and belief that their paths will cross again—whether at a football ground, during a visit, or perhaps even at a European clash where Liverpool and Roma may one day meet.
As Liverpool fans adjust to life without the Greek Scouser, Isaac’s farewell sums up what Tsimikas truly meant to Anfield—not just a player, but part of the family.
