Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp makes brilliant gesture... no wonder every fan loves him
LIVERPOOL boss Jurgen Klopp is a crowd favourite at Anfield - and there is no wonder why.
For the Kop chief on Friday donated £4,500 to injured fan Sean Cox to help his recovery.
Father-of-three Sean is in a Dublin rehab unit after being brutally attacked outside Anfield.

He faces a medical bill likely to run into millions and has been unable to communicate since coming out of a coma in July.
Not only has Klopp made a huge gesture to the 53-year-old supporter, the club announced they would be dedicating today's game against Cardiff to raising more.
On top of the £4,500 donated in Klopp's name, another £4,500 was made anonymously bringing the total for the Co Meath man to £65,000.
Today's clash against Cardiff will be used by the Reds to help gather as much as they can through bucket collections, advertisements and announcements.
They said: "While club officials remain in dialogue with the Cox family regarding initiatives to support them, it was felt appropriate that requests from supporters to show their solidarity were acted upon at the earliest possible opportunity.
"LFC has, therefore, dedicated the home game against Cardiff City to help raise awareness of the appeal's funding page, where supporters can make a donation.
"There will be LED advertising, tannoy announcements and a bucket collection in and around Anfield." Around 60 collectors will be dotted around every side of the ground before the game kicks off at 3pm.
A special auction will also be dedicated to the fund for Sean, who was attacked in April.
He was moved earlier this month to the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Dun Laoghaire.
Meanwhile, the Support Sean Cox Fund is hosting a fun run in his home town of Dunboyne on Monday.
