Speaking about the game being postponed, the 15-year-old told BBC Radio Merseyside: “I was a bit shocked because it is a bit unheard of for games to be cancelled like that.

“I was a bit sad. I wanted to be part of history.

“It was a last minute decision to come. I really wanted to see what it was like at the last derby.”

Seamus Coleman sent Mackenzie a video message in which he said he was “disappointed as well”.

But the fullback told Mackenzie he “would love to see you down the training ground”.

The teenager said: “That’s amazing news. Every cloud has a silver lining.”

Mackenzie’s mother Rita was born in Liverpool and many of his Everton-supporting family still live in the city.

The teenager had asked his mother if he could attend the last Goodison derby game back in March, but was told it was too expensive as the family had just come back from England.
