Show of support
In a show of solidarity for Sean and his family, Liverpool Boss Jurgen Klopp donned the Irish tricolour at a press conference today.
Speaking about Sean, the German-manger said the following:
"I think the game on Tuesday showed the beauty of football - during the game. Before the match, it showed its most ugly face.
When I first heard about it (the attacks) I can not describe my emotions in English. My heart stayed still.
That should never have happened, it should never happen in the future. We all have to ensure that things like this never happen again.
It's unbelievable that something like this can happen and it's hard to imagine how we all are. All our thoughts and prayers are with Sean and his family."
Liverpool will hang a St. Peters Dunboyne GAA jersey in their dressing room before their next match.
