It was one of the most symbolic images of Liverpool’s thrilling run to the Champions League final – captain Jordan Henderson and the rest of the squad holding the banner dedicated to Sean Cox after the semi-final second leg in Rome.
And in our latest Allez Les Rouges podcast, host Peter Hooton, regular guest Ste Monaghan and debutant Peter Carney tell the story behind the banner, how it got onto the pitch at the Stadio Olimpico, and how it was eventually taken to Sean’s family back in Dublin.
Talk then turns to the superb new Hotel Tia with its owner, and another Allez Les Rouges debutant, Jostein Ansnes, whose passion for Liverpool has taken him from Norway to opening a business in the shadow of Anfield.
There’s also plenty of debate on what is a wonderful World Cup including that man Henderson again, Dejan Lovren and why Roberto Firmino is becoming the new David Fairclough (for his country). There are also words of praise for Harry Maguire, Raheem Sterling and the goalkeeper from across the park, Jordan Pickford.
That leads to a discussion over the future of Liverpool’s own No 1, Loris Karius. Peter and Co wonder if the German will get a chance to atone for his errors in the Champions League final. But, if that’s not the case, they are not keen on one keeper linked with the Reds on the back of his World Cup showings.
It’s another great listen. Enjoy. For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy

Kevin Ellison’s decision to speak out about his eight-year battle with depression....
... it’s a battle the boyhood Liverpool fan kept quiet from his family – and one that led him to leading a ‘double life’ and one that ultimately led to the breakdown of his relationship with the mother of his two children.
After seeking help, Kevin has been in a better place for some time now.
But it was only after seeing a number of fellow footballers do the same, like former Reds goalkeeper Chris Kirkland, and most recently, Crawley Town defender Mark Connolly, that he took the brave decision to open up publicly about the issues he’s faced.
It’s a decision that is helping him personally and, as he candidly explains in this podcast, it’s a decision that is leading other players, along with fans, to get in touch with him to ask for his advice.
We also speak about Kevin’s enduring passion for the game, which will see him play until he is 40 at least, and what it was like growing up on Breck Road and standing on the Kop, watching his Liverpool heroes, one of whom he went on to play for.

What players at the World Cup would you like to see Liverpool sign in the summer transfer window?
That was the question taken on by Paul Gorst and Kristian Walsh in a Blood Red podcast special.
With the transfer silly season well and truly underway in the summer window, we allowed ourselves to indulge in a bit of fantasy football of our own as we picked out five names each of players who have caught the eye in Russia.
We debate and discuss the names and their suitability for Jurgen Klopp's Reds, and also look ahead toward pre-season training, which begins on Monday.
There's passionate cases made for Diego Godin, Dries Mertens and Julian Brandt, and Paul and Kristian agree that Mexico's Hirving Lozano would be an ideal fit for the Reds.
It's transfer tennis - and it's a must-listen.
