00:00Shocking and absolutely tragic news about Diogo Jota.

00:04For our audience who do not follow football, who was Diogo

00:08and how integral was he to the Liverpool football team?

00:14A shocking day all round, as you say there, Lee.

00:17Even fans who are not Liverpool fans but are fans of football

00:21will have woken up today with a sense of disbelief.

00:25This young, talented player started his career,

00:27Pacos Ferreira, Atletico Madrid.

00:30The move then came from Porto to Wolves.

00:34And then £41 million is what Jurgen Klopp paid Wolves for.

00:39His service is clearly a talented individual.

00:41In that campaign where he was in the West Midlands,

00:46Jota helped the club climb from mid-championship team

00:51into the Premier League.

00:53He won promotion with them and then they were successful

00:56in a Europa League campaign where he scored back-to-back hat-tricks.

01:01Now, his talent was then picked up elsewhere.

01:04He was on the radio of big clubs.

01:05But it was at Liverpool that he really shone.

01:08He was one of these that Jurgen Klopp said,

01:10look, you know, he's a dedicated football person.

01:13He looks after himself.

01:14He trains hard.

01:15He pushes on the front foot.

01:17He can go left, right.

01:18He can score with his head, as fans of opposing teams can attest to.

01:22But what we saw with Jota was a humility.

01:25There was a normal person there as the fan who was in the clip just before mentioned.
