Meet the Academy: Oakley Cannonier, the famous ball boy with a point to prove

The topic of conversation is raised and out comes a chuckle and a smile from Oakley Cannonier.

He is, of course, the quick-thinking ball boy from Liverpool's greatest European night at Anfield.

A 14-year-old Cannonier proudly claims the pre-assist for 'Corner taken quickly… Origi', which secured the Reds' spot in the 2019 Champions League final and his own in club folklore.

But the Academy product, now 17, is determined to make that just one of many rewarding chapters with the team he supports.
