Liverpool fans have a habit of making football moments feel extra special and there aren’t many who have felt this more than Stephen Warnock after one specific event.

Speaking on Under The Cosh, the former defender said: “I was at Blackburn and we were playing Liverpool at Anfield and it was the Hillsborough Memorial and I got asked to lay a wreath in front of the Kop.

“I remember walking down with the wreath and everyone standing up and applauding and I remember walking and laying that on the front of the Kop.

“I was crying doing it and I remember thinking; ‘f------ hell, this is one of the proudest moments of my life, not football career or anything like that.’

“And I don’t think I’ve ever had a moment like it again.”

For a boyhood Red and former player at the club to be given the honour of laying a wreath in front of the Kop, it’s understandably something that means a lot to the 42-year-old.

It says a lot about his feeling towards the fans that a moment like this holds such prestige in a 16-year career as a footballer.
