BRENDAN Rodgers will write a personal letter to the family of teenage Liverpool FC fan Graham O'Connell who died while having a kickabout with his friends.

Graham O’Connell, 14, was due to fly over from Ireland to watch his beloved Reds face Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday.

But the youngster, who is understood to have suffered from a heart condition, collapsed near his home in Mayfield, Co Cork, on Monday.

Friends of the football-mad youngster took to Twitter in a bid to have Graham’s memory recognised.

Manager Brendan Rodgers will write a personal letter of condolence to Graham’s family and tributes will be posted on the official LFC Twitter feed.

A club spokesman said: “Our condolences go out to Graham’s family.”
