"Sean Cox, the Irish Liverpool fan who was left with life-changing injuries after an unprovoked assault at Anfield eight years ago, has presented Mo Salah with a jersey to thank him for his support."
"Mr Cox (60) from Dunboyne, Co Meath, travelled to Anfield to watch his club take on Chelsea in the Premier League as a guest of LFC chief executive Billy Hogan, where he met Salah (33), the club's all-time highest goalscorer."
"Mr Cox presented star centre forward Salah, who leaves the club at the end of the season, and who has met him on many occasions on his visits to Anfield, with a special jersey as a token of thanks. Many of the club's biggest stars, and former manager Jurgen Klopp, welcomed Mr Cox to the club on many occasions and helped to raise funds for his care."
"Mr Cox suffered life-changing injuries including brain injuries in 2018 when he travelled to Anfield for Liverpool's Champions League semi-final first leg match with AS Roma. He and his brother Martin were attacked outside the stadium by a group of rival fans dressed in black. Mr Cox suffered a significant head injury and spent a week in Aintree Hospital after having emergency surgery."
