It would have been an emotional day for Feyenoord goalkeeper Brad Jones on Saturday, as it marked six years since the tragic death of his son.

The 35-year-old was in action for the Dutch giants against VVV-Venlo and while they were held to a 1-1 draw and sit in sixth place in the Eredivisie standings, this moment has unsurprisingly made the headlines.

As well as singing a rendition of ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, the Feyenoord supporters lit up the De Kuip stadium with their mobile phones in a show of support for the shot-stopper, while the club also offered their public support with the tweet below.

The former Liverpool and Middlesbrough goalkeeper lost his son, Luca, at the age of just five after a battle with leukaemia, but receiving support like this from the supporters will undoubtedly have helped him get through a difficult day.
