Eight-year-old Alfie is the kind of young fan that gives football a good name.

The young Everton fan’s father died in May, while his mother has myalgic encephalomyelitis, a condition which sometimes leaves her bedridden. But despite the hardship he faces, he’s taken it upon himself to help others.

After meeting a homeless man and his dog in his home town of Liverpool on Saturday, Alfie wrote a letter to his club asking them to help him help those less fortunate than himself.

“We went yesterday after school and they treated him like royalty,” Allison told the Press Association. “They listened to all of his ideas, took notes, and promised to try and help him organise a family fun day.”

Alfie was also treated to a tour of the facility and has been invited to be a mascot at Wednesday night’s match against West Ham.

Allison said the letter was all Alfie’s idea, she was just told to post it to Everton. When Alfie met the homeless man who inspired his writing he used his own pocket money to buy things for him and his dog.

“I’ve always known Alfie is a kind and considerate young man,” said Allison, who owns a dog accessories business. “He always thinks of others first and has grown up a lot over the last six months.

“He really wants to be an inspiration to other children who may be going through what he has been through.”

He’s certainly being that. And then some.
 

It is a sad state of affairs, that the hiding we will be given by West Ham and the subsequent stick he will take from his red mates at school will make this poor lads life even tougher! Well done Everton, you can now add child cruelty to your long list of crimes against Evertonians!
