Cody Gakpo has been a clutch player for Liverpool since joining from PSV Eindhoven in January 2023 for £37 million. The Dutch forward has scored 10 goals in the 24/25 season so far with Liverpool on the verge of their 20th PL title.
His knack for clutch moments, like equalizers against Brighton and Leicester, has made him a fan favorite.
But he’s been at Merseyside for a little more than two years now and still doesn’t have chant dedicated to him yet.
That might be about to change as he’s the main inspiration behind the viral TikTok dance and song created by Kevin Murphy, known online as Richy Sheehy, self-proclaimed“Cork’s biggest Liverpool fan.”
While most footballers earn terrace anthems, Gakpo’s flair has sparked a unique dance phenomenon set to the tune of Chappell Roan’s 2023 hit Hot To Go.
The catchy song and dance routine involves spelling out and creating “G-A-K-P-O” using hands and overall body.
Richy Sheehy, a comedian from Carrignavar, Cork, rose to fame in 2018 when his Liverpool-themed song “Fab Four” (Salah, Mané, Firmino, and Coutinho), went viral and landed him on Soccer AM.
While Anfield awaits a traditional Gakpo chant, Sheehy’s Hot To Go dance has given fans a new way to celebrate their star.
