Rhian Brewster has reminded Liverpool supporters exactly how young he is by sharing an old photograph taken with Steven Gerrard.
The 19-year-old has emerged as one of the Reds’ most exciting academy prospects in years, having joined from Chelsea in 2015.
His father is a lifelong Liverpool fan and a Twitter post on Wednesday confirms he was present at Anfield before moving to the club, posing with Gerrard during what must’ve been the mid-to-late 2000s:

Read Liverpool Verdict
Brewster is still awaiting his Liverpool debut, as the club handle him carefully after missing over a year of action through injury.
He a special footballer who will reach great heights at Anfield, eventually blossoming into a star for club and country.
With some young players, such big claims are a risk, but Brewster is a one-off talent.
Patience may be required, with not too much expected too soon, and while he will likely never reach Gerrard’s level, he could forge a great career in his own right.
