“I phone him up and he started crying. He lost it the night before the game, it had his driving license in it with all of his cards, but most of all a letter written to him from his wife just before she died in January.

“I told him where we was and him and two mates walked into the bar wearing their Liverpool shifts and gave me the biggest cuddle ever and brought everyone in the bar a beer.

“He text me after the game and said he’s sorry for Liverpool beating us and said he wants to donate £500 to a charity of my choice.

“‘Help for heroes’ will be getting some money Monday.”
