Suporter Feyenoord Rotterdam memberikan penghormatan khusus untuk penjaga gawang Brad Jones yang baru kehilangan putranya, saat melawan VVV Venlo, Sabtu (18/11/2017).
Tanggal 18 November adalah hari emosional bagi eks kiper Liverpool tersebut.
Enam tahun lalu, anaknya yang bernama Luca meninggal dunia dalam usia 5 tahun karena penyakit leukimia.
Untuk menghormati kepergian Luca sekaligus menunjukkan dukungan kepada Brad Jones, publik Stadion De Kuip bersama-sama menyalakan lampu telepon genggam, mengangkat tangan ke atas, dan menciptakan pemandangan penuh cahaya.
Mereka melakukan hal tersebut sambil menyanyikan lagu "You'll Never Walk Alone".

Brad Jones had such an immeasurable attitude when he was here at #LFC and will never forget how emotional he got at Wembley vs Everton in 2012.

Every once in a while, football fans remind us that they are still the most important part of the ‘business’ we used to call a ‘game’. Touching moment for former @LFC goalie @Brad_Jones1 and his family, massive respect to @Feyenoord_int fans. #YNWA https://t.co/1WCPR6YrwV
