The family of 53-year-old Sean Cox, the Liverpool fan who is in a critical condition after he was attacked by Roma fans before Tuesday night’s Champions League semi-final at Anfield, have issued a statement via Merseyside Police.
Sean is currently being treated for head injuries at The Walton Centre, whilst his two attackers are set to appear in court.
The statement said:
We want the world to know that Sean is the most amazing and wonderful husband, dad, friend, son, uncle, and brother and he has brought us all nothing but joy. He is a truly decent man who adores Liverpool FC and just came over from his home in County Meath, Ireland, to watch his beloved team.
We are completely devastated by what has happened to our lovely, caring, Sean and all we want is for him to come home to his loving wife and three children.
We hope Sean makes a full recovery from the injuries he sustained and that we will all be back together soon as a family in Ireland spending precious time together.
Our thoughts are with Sean and his family at this difficult time, and we wish them all the best.
