Zheng Jianfang, the lucky visitor, is an accountant and more importantly, a Liverpool FC fan. His favorite player is Steven Gerrard.

Zheng said he had already heard through the TV and the newspapers that the Liverpool Pavilion had lots of fun things to do, therefore, he insisted on visiting the pavilion first despite long queues.

He said that he couldn't wait to get home to Fuzhou to show the autographed ball to his family and friends and he promised to create a special place in his home to display it.

Zheng hoped he would visit Liverpool in the near future.
