Milner then lent over the side of the bus so the 53-year-old fan could see the trophy.
Andrew’s mother Hilary told the Liverpool Echo: “It was a very kind gesture and it made Andrew’s day.”
Mr Devine has been in a wheelchair since suffering serious injuries at Hillsborough in 1989.
His brain was deprived of oxygen when his chest was crushed and he was not expected to survive the day.
