A Liverpool fan who broke down at the
Hillsborough memorial yesterday has spoken of the touching moment a Plymouth fan comforted him in his distress.
Lifelong
LFC supporter Josh Christian visited the memorial before the game and was overcome with emotion.
As he turned to walk away from the memorial he felt a hand on his shoulder and as he turned around he was stunned to see a Plymouth fan.
Josh, 23, said: “I haven’t been to a home game for a couple of months and as I went to the memorial I just suddenly felt really emotional and I started to cry.
“After kissing the memorial I started to walk away and then just felt this hand on my shoulder and as I turned round I realised it was a Plymouth fan and he just gave me a hug.
“As he was hugging me he said ‘don’t be ashamed of crying, you’ll never walk alone, we walk with you’, which obviously made me cry even more.
“I was so moved by what he said and I just wanted to share it with the world, because people can get the wrong idea about Football fans, but this man was just amazing.”
Josh, who has followed the Hillsborough campaign for justice all his life, even emailed Plymouth Argyle to show his appreciation for the fan’s actions.
And the warehouse worker received a touching response from the club’s communications manager Rick Cowdry.
