Reds Send Special Message to NHS staff and Health Professionals
Liverpool FC has shared a special message of appreciation and support in recognition of NHS workers and health professionals on the frontline of the coronavirus pandemic.
Anfield’s hallowed turf has been carefully marked by LFC’s grounds team using a GPS line marker to create a special tribute to NHS staff ahead of Thursday’s opportunity to ‘Clap for our Carers’, which thanks them for their bravery and selflessness.
Liverpool Football Club is proud to join the nation in paying tribute and saying a heartfelt ‘thanks’ as people up and down the country come together to show appreciation and gratitude for the heroism of health professionals and other key workers during these challenging times. In addition, LFC players also paid tribute to the NHS staff with actions: Liverpool FC first team players wanted to say a big thank you to local NHS staff, with a small gesture during Easter.
To show their appreciation for all the hard work they’ve been doing during this difficult time, the players organised and paid for 200 chocolate hampers. The hampers were delivered to the 14 hospitals (200 wards) across Liverpool yesterday.
The players arranged for the team bus driver and his team of drivers to deliver all the hampers to the hospitals. Jordan Henderson, Andy Robertson, and Trent Alexander-Arnold recorded their own videos to say a personal thank you.
Some NHS staff also shared their own videos of appreciation to say thank you for the kind gesture:
