Jordan Henderson headed to the away end to celebrate the victory over Crystal Palace with the travelling supporters and selected a fan to receive his shirt.
As he edged closer to the advertising hoardings and threw his shirt, another supporter grabbed it and ran away, leaving our captain furious.
The 31-year-old tried to make the culprit return but it never happened, instead he then promised the rightful owner that he would get another shirt to them if they waited for him after the game.
You can watch the video of the shirt being thrown into the crowd via @ZAGKAG1811:
Thankfully our No.14 could hand another shirt out after the game and met with Helen, even posing for a selfie with her, to ensure she received the shirt he had wanted to pass to her.

It’s easy to say all’s well that ends well but for anyone to steal a shirt that is clearly intended for someone else is pretty shameful, regardless if they wanted to pass it to their child.
Fair play to our skipper for being generous in the first place and for then ensuring everyone went home happy.
