West Ham fan here. Just had to temporarily sign up to say thoughts with the families & friends of both Diogo & Andre Silva and with all those associated with Liverpool FC. A wonderful player and an awful, awful tragedy.

Feels like I’m trying to keep him ALIVE alive by just watching his goal videos and him messing around with the lads at Kirkby

Wasn’t sure if I should post this but on this day ten years ago my older brother decided to end his life.

Diogo’s wife had to identify the body, which had been burnt beyond recognition and as someone who’s father had to identify the body which was run over by a train I know exactly how she feels and that’s breaks my heart again.

THIS! So much.

To this day it bugs me that I can’t remember if I told my wife that I love her the last time we talked.

Such sad news,

taken away so early in his life,

As a footballer, Jota wasn’t blessed with the greatest speed or skill and wasnt the tallest of forwards in league full of imposing centre backs

and he was never going to be considered as one of our greatest players,

but that didnt matter as he brought something else to the team,

a will to win, determination, the knack of been in the right place at the right time and scoring an important goal,

I’ll miss his ability to run with the ball, squirming past defender after defender then firing the ball home, running to the corner flag with that big smile on face,

and he was a surprisingly good header of the ball for a guy who wasnt the tallest and his finishing was pretty good

65 goals in 182 appearances, 1 goal every 3 games roughly (and many of them been match winning goals) is proof of his finishing abilities

The greatest pity in this though is he only recently got married and would have been looking forward to spending the rest of his life with his wife and 3 kids

but they will never feel his touch or hugs again, nor will they feel his

my thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad time

RIP Diogo Jota

I was in disbelief when i read this tragic news. Felt like a punch in the guts. I can only imagine how difficult this must be for his family. Rest in peace Diogo, YNWA.
