Feyenoord fans pay tribute to ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Brad Jones six years after death of his son
Jones' son, Luca, lost his battle with leukaemia aged five
Feyenoord fans paid tribute to goalkeeper Brad Jones, whose son passed away six years ago on Saturday.
Early on during Feyenoord’s 1-1 draw with VVV Venlo, the home fans lit up the stadium with their mobile phone lights before breaking out into a rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone in tribute to the former Liverpool stopper’s son.
Jones’ son, Luca, lost his battle with leukaemia at the age of five, six years ago.
The club also tweeted their support for their No 1, posting a picture the illuminated stands, with the caption “You’ll never walk alone…”
The Australian and his wife, Dani, are vocal supporters of the Anthony Nolan organisation which locates blood stem cell and bone marrow donors for cancer sufferers.
Jones joined the Dutch side last summer after spending five years as Liverpool goalkeeper between 2010 and 2015.
