A Liverpool fan who traveled to Italy to watch the Champions League game against AC Milan has died following a road traffic accident, the Premier League club said Tuesday.
Philip Dooley, who was described as a lifelong Liverpool supporter, was involved in an accident in Bergamo in the early hours of the morning.
“The thoughts and prayers of everyone connected to the club are with Philip’s family, friends and fellow supporters at this extremely difficult time,” Liverpool said in a statement.
Liverpool said members of staff were working with local police and the consulate. The club said staff were also providing “support to other fans impacted by this devastating incident.”
