A viral photo from 2022 showing Neville Southall with the 'well done he's 13' kid has resurfaced, and fans are absolutely blown away at his transformation.
The video from 1999, showed 13-year-old Jamie Hutchinson take on Michael Owen in a series of one versus one shooting drills, while former Everton and Wales goalkeeper Southall watched on.
In true Michael Owen fashion, the then Liverpool striker took no sympathy on the young keeper as he proceeded to score again and again which Southall famously responded, "well done he's 13."
Owen didn't seem to mind the age or quality of his opponent as he wheeled away in celebration after putting the ball past the teenager.

Speaking in 2016, via talkSPORT, Hutchinson explained the issues he faced during the shoot: “Being the goalkeeper on a programme headlined by a striker wasn’t exactly ideal for me."
Hutchinson also believes he has a point to prove after his display back in 99, adding in 2017: “I would 100% love to film it again, with a pair of gloves that actually fit and me being able to touch the crossbar. Hopefully there’d be a better outcome..."
With the viral video constantly on our feeds over the last few years, it's hard to comprehend that it's been well over 20 years, and when Southall and Hutchinson reunited it blew the minds of fans.
Back in 2022, Southall uploaded a photo of the pair with the caption, "Look who I bumped into today ‘Well done, he’s 13’ It’s Jamie from the Michael Owen Soccer Skills video."
With Hutchinson now a lot older and with significantly less of his ginger hair, it's no wonder he had to wear the same goalkeeper shirt to be recognisable.
Following the post from Southall, fans took to social media to share their shock at the reunion.
One fan joked: "Where has all the hair gone? It can't be that long ago...."
Another added: "Well done, he’s 36."
A third replied: "Still wears the same kit every day so people still recognise him."
