More than a day has passed since the first news of the passing of Diogo Jota and his younger brother Andre Silva, people still flock to Anfield Stadium to remember the brilliant but short-lived striker. In recent days, little-known stories about Diogo Jota have been mentioned a lot and one of the most touching stories about Jota is his meaningful action towards a seriously ill young fan.
In 2021, a fan named Steven Davies contacted Diogo Jota when his son, Liam, was battling illness. Davies hoped the Liverpool striker could cheer up his son as he was also a fan.

At that time, Diogo Jota was in the middle of Liverpool's stressful season, but he still took the time to record a video to send sincere encouragement: "Hi Liam, I know you're having a hard time, so I wanted to tell you that you have the support of everyone at Liverpool, just like the fans always support us. Although I'm not an expert, every time I have a hard time, I always listen to the doctors and follow their instructions... Hopefully we'll see each other again at Anfield soon," Diogo Jota concluded the video.
Kindness has no limelight
This action was not widely reported at the time, not a product of the media. It was only after Diogo Jota passed away that Steven Davies shared this video and sent his gratitude to Liverpool's number 20 player: "When my son was at his most difficult time, Diogo took the time to record this video for him... It really helped more than he could have imagined. Thank you Diogo".
