A message congratulating Liverpool for winning the Champions League has been sent on behalf of Sean Cox, the Reds fan left with life-changing injuries after being assaulted outside Anfield last year.
Mr Cox was attacked by a Roma supporter before Liverpool’s home Champions League semi-final last April, with the father of three from Dunboyne in County Meath needing emergency surgery.

He was in a coma for six weeks following the attack and was later transferred to a rehabilitation centre. He left care for the first time a couple of months ago, and was allowed home on Saturday night to watch the showpiece European fixture.
