Wolverhampton Wanderers
Diogo Jota played for Wolverhampton Wanderers between 2017 and 2020.
Across 111 games he scored 33 goals including a hat-trick which was the club’s first ever in the competition, and the first for the club in the top flight of English football since October 1997.
Just like he did for Liverpool, he scored many important goals for Wolves, and was key to driving the club towards a Europa League quarterfinal, as he scored 9 goals in 14 games including a hat-trick within 12 minutes against Besiktas.
Diogo Jota was a player who was loved by everyone he interacted with, a top-quality person on and off the pitch, he will be forever missed by the footballing world.
His life, along with his brother’s Andre Silva, were taken far too soon.
Each club Jota represented adores him, and ahead of Wolverhampton Wanderers pre-season game against Celta Vigo yesterday, they paid respects to their former player.
The matchday programme was dedicated to the forward and a wreath was laid out in the shape of his shirt, finished off with his number and club crest.
Additionally, a period of silence was observed prior to kick-off.
A deeply emotional and heartfelt tribute carried out by Wolverhampton Wanderers, a club that lobed the Portuguese just as much as Liverpool did.
For Liverpool, Diogo Jota featured 182 times for the club across five seasons, scoring 65 goals.
His final season in Red was capped off beautifully by a Premier League title win and there is something deeply moving about the final goal of his life coming in the Merseyside Derby at Anfield, a crucial goal at the time to send us on our way to securing the title.
He gave his all for the badge, and that is something none of us will ever forget.
