Just saw the news on
.tv, the 17-year-old Liverpool fan lost his battle with stomach cancer on Monday. When the news of his illness reached the people at Liverpool in
mid-April, they arranged for him to go down to Melwood, the training ground to meet Rafa and the players. But the doctor advised against him making the trip, so the club sent him and signed shirt and a signed card instead.
When the news reached the supporters, some took the initiative to make
banners with messages for him and brought it along to the 1st leg of semi-finals against Chelshit. That night, the camera picked up the image, and even though Liam didn't make the trip, he saw how everyone at the club is with him. The banners were later sent to him so that the messages are right with him in his final days.
Liam truly never walk alone. This boy made me realised lots of things. Not only the "it's so wonderful to be alive" thingy, but lots more. Rest in peace, Liam.
