A moving moment In honor of Michael Jones, Anfield cheers.

 

Jurgen Klopp pays tribute to Michael Jones

Liverpool supporters rose to their feet and

applauded during the 26th minute of their

Premier League match with Bournemouth

in memory of Michael Jones, who tragically

lost his life earlier this week.

 

 

 

Jones, who was 26 years of age, sadly died

on Monday having been involved in an on-

site incident during his day job as a

construction worker at Bramley Moore

Dock. A lifelong Blue, Jones had been

helping at the home of Everton’s new stadium.

 

Jurgen Klopp and the rest of the Liverpool

 

 

 

squad this morning turned up at Bramley

Moore Dock to pay their respects to Jones.

laying a wreath of flowers at the site with a

tribute that reads: “Condolences from

everyone at Liverpool Football Club. YNWA.”

A minute’s silence was also held in memory of Michael.

This theme was maintained during the Reds’

first home game of the season, with the

crowd coming together to remember the 26-year-old.

An Everton banner could be seen held aloft

in the stands, meanwhile supporters could

also be heard singing ‘You’ll Never Walk

Alone’ amid warm applause.

On Monday, Everton took to social media to

express their sadness at Michael’s passing,

saying: “The loss of Michael Jones, a lifelong

Evertonian who followed the Blues home

and away, has left us all devastated.

 

“The thoughts of everyone at Everton

remain with Michael’s family, friends and

colleagues. We will now be working with

Michael’s family on an appropriate and

lasting tribute. Michael Jones, forever in our hearts.”

Mo Salah has finally claimed Steven

 

 

Gerrard’s record as his own, moving fifth in

Liverpool’s all time scoring charts with No. 187 vs. Bournemouth.

 

A new season means more records for the No. 11 to break.

The latest has seen him overtake the former

captain in the record books, moving outright

fifth in the charts with his 187th goal for

Liverpool and the first of the campaign.

It is remarkable feat by the Egyptian, who

has amassed the tally in 306 games – now

allowing him to set his sights on club legend

Billy Liddell, in fourth with 228 strikes.

 

Surpassing Gerrard is certainly impressive,

with Salah’s rise up the charts one of a

myriad of records he has under his belt

since joining the club in 2017.

The 30-year-old’s incredible feats at the club

also include him being the first Liverpool

player since Roger Hunt, in 1965/66, to score

20 league goals for a third successive season

– now to see if he can make it four in a row.

 

We know Salah keeps tabs on all the records

available to him, and surpassing Gerrard

will not have escaped him, having

consistently stated he wants to “score more

goals and break more [records].”

Here’s to many, many more from the Egyptian King!
