Conor Bradley’s dad saw son make special Liverpool debut in 2021 after a touching act of selflessness from fellow fan… years after he had organised fundraiser for Parkinson’s Disease research and sponsored local youth football trophies
Conor Bradley’s father could see his son make his Liverpool debut in 2021 after a kind intervention from another disabled fan – in the spirit of his own selflessness.
The death of Joe Bradley at the age of 58 was confirmed by Liverpool on Saturday after a long battle with illness.
He lived to see his son, 20, become a Kop favorite after a string of games this season, including Liverpool’s 4-1 midweek demolition of Chelsea in which Conor scored.
A tweet from the Liverpool Disabled Supporters’ Association said: ‘In 2021 LFC required a wheelchair space at Norwich at late notice. I gave up my bay and thought no more about it.
‘Shortly afterwards, LFC arranged a video call with Jurgen Klopp, who thanked me for giving up my lead. The bay was for Conor’s dad so he could watch his son make his LFC debut! YNWA.’
