This unique recycling process ensures the voices and emotions shared by fans at the time become a permanent and enduring part of this memorial."It will also include personal references that reflect Diogo’s life beyond football, including a games controller detail resting on the plinth, and will serve as a permanent symbol of love, unity and remembrance, and a place where everyone can reflect, remember and pay their respects."FOLLOW OUR LIVERPOOL FC FACEBOOK PAGE!
