It was a day full of cheers, chants, and champions. Liverpool were crowned Premier League winners again, and while the players soaked up the glory, one moment stood out beyond the goals and glitter.
After lifting the trophy, Liverpool defender Andy Robertson made a beeline — not to the cameras, but to a 94-year-old fan named Peggy Pickavant.
The moment he handed her the trophy, the Anfield crowd had something else to cheer for. It was football, but with a heart.
Peggy isn’t your average supporter. She’s been a Red since 1945. Back then, the Kop looked very different.
Only nine women stood among the crowd, and Peggy, at just 14, was one of them. That’s before the days of European nights, before YNWA echoed across continents. This was pure, early Liverpool love.

How Andy Robertson made Peggy Pickavant’s wish come true
Peggy, now a great-grandmother, had one simple wish: “I would love to meet the players. That would be my wish.” On Sunday, that dream came true.
Andy Robertson, still in his kit and medal shining, walked over with the Premier League trophy and placed it gently in Peggy’s arms.
She smiled. The fans clapped. It was more than a gesture — it was respect for nearly eight decades of support.
Robertson didn’t say much, but the act spoke volumes. “Absolute class,” a fan nearby said. Peggy beamed like she had just watched a 90th-minute winner.
As the open-top bus rolled through the city streets, Peggy waved with pride. From the days of tea flasks on the Kop to watching Liverpool lift their 20th league title, her journey came full circle.
And in true football fashion, Robbo’s assist came off the pitch — straight to the heart.
