  • Throughout 2020 and 2021, NIVEA MEN helped care home residents stay connected with their passions and loved ones during lockdown with the help of The Anfield Wrap.

    should be doing to connect with the fans, no matter what age. Much respect to L.F.C. and Nivea
    for their kindness. Rest in Peace old son.

    Reminded me of my old man who also passed away in june. We got to see Liverpool beat leeds 6-0 with my son. It is because of the older generations passion for Liverpool that so many millions are now Liverpool fans. At the match another old gentleman went out of his way to show us where our seats were and told us to use lift when the gane was over he told a steward to wait at full tine to guude us to the lift. I think villa do a vip ticket free every week hope Liverpool do the same. Liverpool fans make the club and so many support the club because of fathers/mothers and grandparents. RIP Paddy Quinlan and Eric YNWA

    I miss the old melwood. It had more of a community feel. Players would pass more through the city and see the people of this passionate and beautiful city. I live a 3 minute drive from melwood. I miss it so much. Also Eric is a true Liverpool fan. He seen us when we was terrible in the second division. And seen us the best in England.

    Just as I was thinking how this brought a smile, I then see he passed away. Sad. But glad they gave him a very special day before leaving us. RIP Eric
