Football isn’t just about winning and collecting trophies – it’s about the raw passion, pure joy ,and the way the beautiful game ties us all together . Nobody shows that more than Isaac Kearney , that young Red from Liverpool whose love for the Reds has got people world wide falling in love with him . Just recently, Isaac dropped an original song paying tribute to Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool’s exciting new French frontman. The catchy little tune goes like this:
His name is Hugo,
He is wonderful,
With the ball at his feet, he is magical,
His name is Hugo,
He is wonderful,
When he plays up top he’s gonna score that goal —
La la la la la!
It’s a real fun little number from a fan who genuinely sees something pretty special in Ekitike – and now that song is a part of Isaac’s growing legacy among the Reds faithful
Isaac Kearney and the Fan Song That Celebrates Hugo Ekitike
The song celebrating Hugo Ekitike didn’t come from a script written by the marketing team, or a carefully crafted recording in some studio. It came from Isaac Kearney, a die-hard Liverpool supporter who’s got a knack for whipping up spontaneous chants and songs that are popping up all over social media and in bars all over the city.
Isaac is the kind of fan who can take his love for Liverpool players and turn it into these simple, carefree songs – often with a toy guitar in hand and a completely genuine grin on face. He’s done it for legends and stars past and present, and they always seem to get a lot of love because they’re so refreshingly honest, not polished to within an inch of their lives.
What really stands out about Isaac’s tribute to Hugo Ekitike is that it came out at just the right moment – when the rest of us are getting to know Ekitike and his high-energy style of play that’s really capturing the fans. We don’t just judge players on the number of goals they score – we also look for that certain something that makes you go “wow” – the energy, the movement, the sense that they’re on the same wavelength as the rest of the team. That’s what Isaac says he sees in Ekitike all right.
You can’t help but feel like Isaac’s already become a bit of a fixture around Liverpool – he’s been invited down to the training ground, has met loads of the first team players and even popped up in some official Liverpool stuff that’s been shared all around the world. And here’s the thing: the club’s not just treating him like some publicity stunt – they’re genuinely embracing him as one of their own because that’s exactly what he is.
The Ekitike song is pretty much a carbon copy of Isaac’s other tributes – simple, repetitive and catchy – like something that could totally work in the stands on any given matchday. It’s a perfect illustration of how modern fan culture works: moments are shared, chants get created on the fly, and players get to feel the love from the fans before they’ve even won a single trophy.
In many ways, Isaac’s song has captured something that all the stats and numbers can’t: a sense that Hugo Ekitike is already being seen not just as some new signing, but as a player who’s got the fans believing in him, getting us all excited and creative in our thoughts about what he might be able to do on the pitch. That connection is often the first sign that a footballer is going to feel right at home on Merseyside.
As Ekitike continues his Liverpool journey, moments like this just show you how the culture of football lives way beyond the pitch. Sometimes the best endorsement a player can get is some fan singing a simple, heartfelt song that we all instantly recognise.
