Liverpool gamers paid tribute to a nine-year-old fan who was killed by a lightning strike by carrying t-shirts bearing his title throughout the warm-up forward of Thursday’s 4-2 win at Manchester United.
Jordan Banks was rushed to hospital after he was critically injured in a lightning strike throughout a training session with Clifton Rangers Junior Football Club in Blackpool on Tuesday. He died quickly after.
“You’ll by no means stroll alone, Jordan Banks,” Liverpool said on Twitter.
“Nicknamed ‘mini-Milner’ by his coaches, Jordan was a brilliant person, as well as a passionate footballer. We’re all thinking of his loved ones tonight.”
United additionally paid tribute, saying: “The ideas of everybody at #MUFC are with Jordan’s family members tonight.”
In January, Banks raised 2,500 pounds ($3,511) by running 30 miles for mental health services after his uncle took his own life in 2018.
Liverpool vice-captain James Milner had sent him two shirts at the time, one for Banks himself and another to raise money for the cause. Milner dedicated Thursday’s win to Banks, which moved Liverpool up to fifth in the Premier League.
