An Australian teenager, Mackenzie, flew 10,000 miles from Sydney to witness the Merseyside derby only for the match to be canceled due to safety concerns from Storm Darragh. Undeterred, he was invited to meet Everton’s first team at their Finch Farm training ground, where he expressed his excitement and gratitude. Club captain Seamus Coleman and defender James Tarkowski recognized Mackenzie’s dedication, with Tarkowski even offering him a ticket to an upcoming match against Arsenal. Mackenzie, whose family has strong ties to Everton, said the experience was surreal and expressed his deep passion for the club.
