Liverpool are currently in action in action against Bournemouth in their second Premier League game of the season
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. Photos taken by the ECHO shown Klopp 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.”
