Fan's view He gave us goals and a glorious song

Initially it was hard to make out the words. Then when I knew the words I found it hard to sing them. Mainly because there seemed to be too many, leading to lines being tripped over and bafflement with the sound of everyone around me sticking with it. But they were, so I did too, and eventually I got it, and loved it, and, as such, I sang it, over and over again.

"Oh, he wears the No 20 / He will take us to victory / And when he's running down the left wing / He'll cut inside and score for LFC / He's a lad from Portugal / Better than Figo don't you know / Oh, his name is Diogo!"

Liverpool supporters love a song and few in recent years have been belted out with as much joy as the one dedicated to Diogo Jota. Based on Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater Revival, it took some Reds longer than others to grasp but we eventually did and so it roared from Anfield and elsewhere. A brilliant celebration of a brilliant player and one we expected to continue chanting for a few more seasons at least. And no doubt we will, but its words will now be tinged with sadness. Grief, even.

Jota's death is a personal tragedy. One can only imagine the immense heartbreak being felt by his family and friends. And you only have to glance across mainstream and social media to see his passing has had a wider impact, few places more than at the club he called home for the past five years. Not for the first time, Liverpool Football Club are in mourning.
