Liverpool supporters have received plenty of plaudits on Twitter after paying tribute to the late son of a Plymouth Argyle fan.

Kevin May discovered during the FA Cup third-round match between Liverpool and Plymouth at Anfield earlier this month that his son Daniel had died in a Surrey hospital, where he was being treated after suffering a cardiac arrest.

May was comforted by a Liverpool employee and police officer at the ground when he was informed of the tragic news, reports the Liverpool Echo.

After the match ended in a goalless draw, Reds season-ticket holder Anthony Grice set up a fundraising page to get a banner created in memory of the 25-year-old.

It was unfurled at Home Park in the 25th minute of the third-round replay, which ended in a 1-0 victory for Liverpool on Wednesday night.

Supporters around the ground applauded the banner, which read: 'RIP Daniel May - You'll Never Walk Alone'.
