Sending love and best wishes to Liam and his family, I can’t even begin to imagine the pain he must be going through.
I trust Stoke City will offer condolences and pay tribute around the game Tuesday week.
RIP little one.

With little ones myself I genuinely don't know how you ever recover from that. I'll be giving you a big clap Liam and letting you know you are not alone when Bristol come around. |

I was at a wedding a few years back at Nunsmere Hall in Cheshire., Was a charity football team there of ex players as guests . Hibs, Wolves, Celtic, Southampton etc
One of the guests had done a painting of the couple getting married, was bloody good. Was admiring it and his wife/gf told me that he'd immersed himself in painting when their young son had died. Turned out was Jody Craddock . The bloke has talent, didn't realise he'd been though that.
Francis Benali and his wife were two of the coolest people have ever met for the record.
This guy deserves a round of applause, yep

Actually makes sick to my stomach thinking about this. I’d be crushed Condolences and hopefully he can find some peace When something like this happens I think I'd struggle to get out of bed and move, never mind go back to work. The nature of being an EFL club manager though is that he won't be given much time to mourn. By the end of November, he will need to return to work whether he is ready or not and if the club feel he is not mentally fit to carry on, the harsh reality is that he will be sacked. That puts a lot of pressure on someone who is undoubtedly going through a lot of pain. |

In this world there’s nothing, but nothing at all, worse than losing a child.
RIP young fella.
