Missed a parcel off the postie this morning and just had a knock, she had come back to deliver it incase it was for Christmas.
Boss that. Support the strikes βοΈ
My purpose in the game is fulfilled βοΈ
I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it.
To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you.
The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling.
More of the journey to come.
Love,
Divock Origi
Rest in peace Diogo Jota and Andre Silva. You will always be missed and forever adored. Sending love and thoughts to your family, friends, teammates and fans on this tragic day.

I can't really think of anything else...
So let's remember Diogo Jota the footballer.
Joined Wolves in the Championship, 4th top scorer as they secured promotion. Instantly looked at home in the Premier League.
I remember when he signed for Liverpool in September 2020, it was one of those rare modern transfers that came out of nowhere.
Again... stepped up with ease. Within his first 10 games he'd scored a hat-trick against Atalanta, the club's 10,000th goal and equalled Fowler's record for most goals in your first 10 appearances with 7.
Talking of Fowler... do you remember when Jamie Carragher called Diogo Jota the club's best Premier League finisher in January 2024? Not Suarez, not Torres, not Owen or Fowler... Diogo Jota.
65 goals and 26 assists in 182 games is a phenomenal record for a club of Liverpool's calibre, under that pressure, given he was trying to live up to the legacies of Mane and Firmino. Especially given the fact he only started more than 14 League games in a season once.
So many crucial goals off the bench, always ready, attitude on point. Even this season... winners vs Palace, Everton, an 86th minute equaliser vs Fulham and one vs Forest too. Big impact.
Won everything there was to win domestically.
For Portugal? Despite the presence of Ronaldo, Bernardo Silva, Bruno Fernandes as well as emerging players like Leao, Neto and Conceicao he was always there, always contributing. Picked for both Euro 2020 and 2024, he would have gone to Qatar were it not for injury.
Much more important than his immense impact as a footballer, any interview/piece of content I'd seen him in, he'd always seemed like an exemplary person.
Absolutely stunned by his loss. Thoughts with his family, his friends and everyone associated with Diogo Jota.
So as you all know my best mate @mattyb743 a wheelchair user, and his wheels have seen us all over Europe for ten years but they donβt last forever. He gets a Β£500 voucher off the gov but to carry on how he does we need a WHIP. Iβm jumping out of a plane to raise money for this.
