Diogo Jota's untimely death is an incomprehensible shock to the global army of Reds fans who worshipped him. We see our heroes as indestructible, and miracle-worker striker Jota was no exception. His final goal for Liverpool confirmed his legendary status: a late winner to push his team closer to that 20th league title. At the Kop end. In a Merseyside derby. Goals don't come much bigger than that. Jota the Slotter's crucial strikes earned him the ultimate badge of honour — his own song. Even when he was on the bench, the crowd would bellow: 'He's a lad from Portugal; better than Figo, don't you know; Oh, his name is Diogo' — to the tune of Creedence Clearwater Revival's hit Bad Moon Rising. Barely a month ago, I was among the 1.5million who saw Jota and his team-mates parade the Premier League trophy through Liverpool. It turned into a harrowing day when a motorist drove into a crowd, injuring 109. Two weeks later, he lifted the Uefa Nations League trophy with Portugal. Just 12 days ago, he married his sweetheart Rute — mother of his three young children. I'm sure Liverpool FC and the fans will ensure the family never walk alone. I suspect the club will retire the No20 he wore out of respect and his song will echo on the Kop into eternity.
