Statement on behalf of Terry McDermott and his family

We are heartbroken by the loss of our dear friend, Kevin Keegan.

Kevin was so much more than a teammate. He was a lifelong friend whose warmth, loyalty, humour and passion for football touched so many lives. The memories they shared, both on and off the pitch, will be treasured forever.

Although Terry’s dementia means he is no longer able to express his feelings publicly, we know how much Kevin meant to him and how deeply this loss would have affected him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Jean, Laura, Sarah and all of Kevin’s family at this incredibly sad time. We hope they find comfort in the love and respect being shown for Kevin by so many people.

Kevin was one of football’s true greats, but to Terry he was, above all, a cherished friend.

He will be greatly missed and never forgotten. #nufc #lfc

@charlhennessy1 @TheRedmenTV Thank you for your sustained efforts in getting this to parliament. Difficult with what’s gone before to entirely trust that government will enact this but we know #HillsboroughLawNow will hold them to account. From a grateful Hillsborough survivor

The love and best wishes being sent to @Darwinn99 shows he is leaving Anfield as a respected fan favourite and champion. The same can be said about Diaz, Kelleher and a few others. What a stark contrast to TAA who destroyed his legacy by running down his contract!

Today is Samaritans Awareness Day

It's time to stop whispering about suicide.
We are losing too many to silence.

Let’s prevent suicide today. Because tomorrow’s too late.

@Realaldo474 So sad. Walking round Rome in 1977 doing the Joey Jones fist celebration was one of my happiest memories. A true legend.

🖤 Diogo Jota - The Whistle's Blown Far Too Soon

Finding it hard to write these words, fingers trembling as I type. Diogo Jota is gone. Just days after marrying the love of his life, standing proudly in a church with his new wife Rute and their three young children, he and his brother Andre are lost in a road accident in Spain. A family torn apart, futures stolen in silence.

Jota was 28. A player in his prime, a Premier League champion, a Nations League winner, an #LFC forward who played the game with bite and purpose. But that’s not why this hurts so much. It’s because he carried himself with quiet dignity, a humility rare in modern football. He didn’t shout for attention, he earned respect by how he played, how he worked, how he made you believe.

He scored goals that lifted stadiums, but he never chased the spotlight. His joy seemed rooted not in fame, but in the chance to play, to contribute, to belong. And so we embraced him. Because we saw something of ourselves in him. Not the talent, not the trophies, but the effort, the heart, the sense of duty.

This morning we wake up in a world that makes less sense. A young father gone, a brother gone, a family grieving beyond words. And we grieve too, from afar. Because somehow, through the screen and the songs and the match days, they became part of our lives.

You never knew us, Diogo, but we knew you. And we will never forget. #YNWA #RIPJota #DiogoJota

@hatscarforabadg @BrettaAdlen I’m sure you will be busy. I wore my glory days T-shirt on Wednesday and was asked loads of times where I got it. Hopefully some of them will be going tomorrow as well and will call in to the shop before. Good luck.

I was at the front just behind the gates to Picton Library in 1974. Kevin Keegan mouthed down to me to ask if I was ok and I foolishly said yes. I wonder if I’d said no if I’d have had an even better view. Ha ha

I didn’t and won’t boo him but neither will I cheer him. This post is so on point. Trent has completely destroyed his legacy by the way he has handled this whole fiasco.

🟥 Klopp Remembers Trent’s Glory – The Fans Remember His Fall

Jurgen Klopp, with the candour only time grants a man departed, asked for grace. He reminded us of a boy who bent the world his way in Hoffenheim and bamboozled giants on an Anfield night that belonged to eternity. He asked us not to forget. But it is precisely because we remember that the booing rang out.

We remember Trent the teenager, yes, but we also remember the man who scored against West Ham and turned to scouring the very people who raised him. We remember a farewell 'party' more befitting a popstar than a footballer, curated not with humility but vanity. Klopp says the club is famed for not forgetting, and that is true, but it remembers all of it, not just the poetry.

Klopp’s appeal came from the heart, and perhaps from a place that still sees the lad in the number 66 shirt. But the fans see the man now. They see the training ground apathy whispered by Arne Slot, the orchestrated exit, the absence of dignity in departure. They see a player who has made his choice and expects applause as he walks out the door.

This is not about goals scored or assists delivered. It is about a bond broken in broad daylight. A player can leave, they always have, but how they leave matters; Jurgen himself has a famous quote about exactly this.

The boos are not for past dreams or European nights. They are for the sneer, the gesture, the self-indulgence, the deafening silence when clarity was owed.

Klopp reminded us that Trent gave everything. Perhaps he did, once upon a time. But giving everything is not just about what you did when you wore the shirt. It is also about how you carry its weight when it no longer suits you. And on that count, he is found wanting.

So no, this isn’t a case of fans forgetting. This is a case of a player forgetting them first. Klopp’s sentiment deserves respect, he’s earned it. But even he must know that respect is not unconditional. It is repaid, not assumed. And when it is withdrawn, it is not out of spite, but sorrow.

Because when you love something enough to feel betrayed by it, you don’t forget. You boo.

Also the date for our first European Cup / Champions League in Rome in 1977. Iconic date for sure.

A brilliant night at TAW’s @TheAnfieldWrap end of season party with @Jackoby_ @lottieechar and and Sam Birch followed by fun at K1. Love my boys and my wonderful daughter in law who have given us two wonderful grandchildren. Bring on tomorrow’s match and the parade on Monday.

Love this but baffled why Gérard Houllier is not included!

[James Pearce @JamesPearceLFC]

It’s an iconic Kop banner and it will undergo a makeover this summer with Arne Slot set to be added.
This is the story behind it. Loved chatting to Paul Larkin, Ger Kane and Liam Flanagan from the Irish Kop.
