The father of a young Liverpool supporter who caught the imagination of everybody he met has paid tribute to the club and its fans for their support.

Owen McVeigh was a regular at home and away games, but tragically passed away shortly after being diagnosed with leukaemia in December 2015.

Owen has since been commemorated in touching fashion by his fellow Reds. A flag bearing his name was created by fan group Spion Kop 1906 ahead of a minute's applause at Anfield to mark what would have been his 12th birthday in January 2016. The banner has been a fixture on the Kop at home games ever since.
