Fantastic stuff.

YNWA.

Fantastic heart warming story that.

So proud to be a Red.  You always know, that no matter what the circumstances are, you will be supported by our big Red Family.

Kenny Dalglish, you truly are a gentleman and a legend.  YNWA

Moved me to tears this story and then made me feel proud.Ive heard other stories of Kenny's generosity and kindness,more power yo his elbow .Sorry for your loss Debs hope you find time a good healer as i did

I honestly got choked up thinking about how that kid must have felt when King Kenny first spoke to him on the phone.  Makes me proud to support our club and the good people who represent it.

Only just noticed this topic. I'm completely overwhelmed, sitting here in tears. Having kids myself it really tugged my heart strings. The effort by Kenny and the Club to help other people is truly astounding. Must have made that young lads day. We truly are a class apart from any other Club on this planet. One massive family.

Group hug everyone.  

I'm sure I speak for us all when I say that our thoughts go out to that young lad and his family in this difficult time. You'll Never Walk Alone.

Ever.  

Sends shivers up and down my spine. Thats a brilliant story. Thanks for sharing it with us RLB.

Proud as punch.

And credit to the fella on the other end of the phone when the mother called. Straight away asked around and got in touch 10 minutes later with Kenny on the phone. Great work.

YNWA.

it is a great story - and proves what a great man Kenny is.

The Liverpool way simple as.
  Kenny is god

Hi Guys,

Was wondering if someone could give me some advice. I work for a charity called The Berith Foundation http://www.berithfoundation.co.uk based in Stourbridge, West Midlands that works with inviduals with learning disabilities. As a lot of charities up and down the country we rely heavily on the genrousity of people who do all they can to help those less fortunate then themselves.

At Berith we've been very fortunate that we have had couple (Debbie and Dennis Morrey) who have been very supportive over a number of years, at times they have gone above and beyond that which could be expected of them. An exapmle of their kindness is that they are currently re-decorating one of our properties, giving up their weekends and evenings to help make the place a good living environment. They have shared their holidays with the indivduals that we support.

Later on this year Dennis is running the London marathon in aid of a Lukemia charity. This is in memory of his brother who he lost to the illness a few years ago. He is currently hard in training and fundraising. Dennis's wife Debbie is busy organising a fundraising quiz night at a local pub for later on this month and she has contacted a number of clubs aournd us e.g Wolves, West Brom asking if they would be interested in supporting him, However the response has been poor to say the least. I was wondering if anyone on the forum had contact details for someone at Liverpool who I could get in touch with and try to get some support for Dennis. Even if its something like an autographed picture that we can auction on the quiz night, iam sure Dennis would greatly appreciate it.

Also if I post a link to Dennis's fundraising page would the members of the forum be willing to donate to his cause??

All help would be appreciated.

Other fans think You Never Walk Alone is only a slogan. But this shows that it is much more than a slogan, its the way of Liverpool!

I've no link for this unfortunately but just heard a story about Joe Cole that Alan Curbishley said before a match. He said that the scout that had discovered Joe Cole had fu**ed up his leg and couldnt afford to go private, Joe Cole was angry he had not heard sooner and paid for the operation (£20,000 according to Curbishley ) out of his own pocket. Top stuff there from Joey

There is an interesting article about Peter Brabrook in this month’s Hammers News. For those younger supporters, Brabrook was one of our best players in the 1960s.

In recent years, Brabrook has had serious problems with his knees. This is a common problem for footballers when they reach later life (I know because I have the same problem myself). He visited the hospital and was told he needed to have “knee replacement surgery”. As people will know there is a long waiting list for this treatment on the NHS. Footballers in the 1960s were not paid well and Brabrook could not afford to go private yet he was now finding it difficult to get around (he works as a part-time scout for the Hammers). His daughter contacted the PFA to ask if they could help. Shortly afterwards Joe Cole phoned Brabrook. He had been told by the PFA about his problem and insisted that he should be allowed to pay for the cost of the operation. The operation was a success and Brabrook is now back on his feet. As Brabrook told the Hammers News: “You hear lots of negative stories about the way young footballers spend their money, but what Joe did for me was incredible.”





Well in Joe, nice to see you still have humility and compassion despite the massive wages you earn.

^^^ Good to hear stories like that. As it's mostly negative stuff that the gutter press like to print, you don't often get to hear the good side of players, they may earn more money in a month than the average bloke does in a year, but it's still heartwarming to hear them do things like this.
