Liverpool Football Club has paid tribute to critically ill Irishman Sean Cox this afternoon.
The 53-year-old Meath man was attacked before Liverpool's Champions League semi-final against Roma at Anfield on Tuesday.
Sean is a treasurer at St Peter's GAA Club in Dunboyne, and a St Peter's club jersey was hanging in Liverpool's dressing room in Anfield today ahead of their match against Stoke City.

In his pre-match press conference yesterday, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp wore a tri-colour pin as a mark of respect to Mr Cox.
He told reporters: "It's just unbelievable that something like this can happen. All our thoughts and prayers are with Sean at the moment, and with his family of course."
Earlier this week, police said Mr Cox remains in a critical condition in hospital.
Two men have been charged in connection with the attack.
