Van Dijk’s Birthday, Isaac Remembers Celebrates Him, Sends Warm Greetings (Video)
Today, a heartwarming birthday message lit up the internet—and it came from none other than young Isaac, a devoted Liverpool FC fan, who sent his warm wishes to his hero, Virgil van Dijk.
In a short, spirited video, Isaac beamed with joy as he said,
“Happy Birthday!!!! To the one & only Virgil Van Dijk & I hope you have a special day. I’ll see you soon 2 @virgilvandijk.”
It was more than just a birthday wish. It was a heartfelt message from a young boy whose life has been deeply touched by the game and the players he admires.
With the team still reeling from the loss of star player Jota, no wonder Virgil kept his birthday celebrations under wraps, some moments are just too tough to celebrate. May the soul of Diogo Jota rest in peace, Amen.
For anyone who knows Isaac, his love for Liverpool runs deep. From singing football chants with pure joy to proudly carrying plush toys of Mo Salah and Van Dijk wherever he goes—even to school—Isaac has long worn his love for the Reds on his sleeve.
That love did not go unnoticed.
Earlier , after videos of Isaac passionately watching matches and singing Liverpool songs made their rounds online, the club reached out to his family to plan a day he would never forget.
The surprise? A visit from the very legends he idolizes: Mohamed Salah and Captain Virgil van Dijk, who showed up at his school in a moment that left Isaac completely speechless.
When his parents, barely able to contain their own excitement, asked why he thought his heroes had come to see him, Isaac answered simply and sweetly:
“Because they like me.”
And like him, they clearly do.
The memorable day continued with a special family tour of Liverpool’s training center, where Isaac got to meet more of the squad—and even had a cheerful encounter with new head coach, Arne Slot. He high-fived players, explored the grounds, and lived out a dream most young fans only imagine.
For a boy whose world is lit up by football, that single day became the kind of story that lasts a lifetime.
And today, on Van Dijk’s special day, it was Isaac’s turn to give something back. With his birthday message, he reminded the world of the beautiful bond between fans and their heroes—and how the magic of football, sometimes, comes full circle.
