Plymouth fan whose son died: “Liverpool fans were outstanding”
A Plymouth Argyle fan who was told his son had died unexpectedly during Sunday’s FA Cup match against Liverpool has thanked Liverpool fans who created a banner in his son’s memory.
Kevin May’s son Daniel was quadriplegic, blind and had cerebral palsy since an operation he had when he was six months old.
Kevin told 5 live’s Rachel Burden that Liverpool staff at Anfield were “amazing”, taking him to a quiet room away from the crowd.
Liverpool supporter Anthony Grice raised the funds for a banner to be made in Daniel’s memory, which fans displayed at last night’s match.
Kevin told Anthony: “Thank you, your guys last night were fantastic, all your effort was outstanding.”
Anthony replied: “It’s a small gesture from Liverpool supporters to give you a bit of comfort at this time.”
