Meet the Academy: Fidel O'Rourke
Fidel O'Rourke's Liverpool journey began on the school playground.
The Scouser was spotted by Academy scout Peter Brady playing for his school team SFX (St Francis Xavier's College) and Sunday League outfit Mags Titans on the amateur fields as an U14 player.
It's the kind of story you used to read in comic books such as Roy of the Rovers, one that proves dreams can come true.
O'Rourke, a die-hard Liverpool fan, is now a regular with the U18s squad and has also played for the U19s in the UEFA Youth League.
When the Reds first came calling, though, it took a while for the news to sink in.
