A dedicated Liverpool FC fan came home from the Capital One Cup final devastated after losing a 15 foot flag that he's flown at games for nearly two decades.

Tony Henny's five foot by 15 foot in honour of Reds legend Robbie Fowler went missing at Wembley Stadium where Liverpool lost on penalties to Manchester City, on Sunday .

Earlier Tony's niece Evie Atherton took to Twitter to share a picture of her uncles flag in the hope of finding it, which was retweeted by Fowler himself.

The giant flag is signed by the former Liverpool striker who scored 183 goals in 369 games for the Reds in two spells between 1993 and 2007.

Season ticket holder Tony, who had travelled down from Liverpool on a coach load packed with 48 friends and family, said the material loss spoilt the game.

Tony, 48, and from Childwall, said: "I spent the whole game looking for the flag. Coming home without it, we were devastated. That was our biggest defeat.

"My nephew handed it to another Scouser who said he would help get it in the ground and that was the last we saw of it.

"We just hope whoever has it will return it to us. Me and my brother Stephen made it together back in 1998.

"We used to take it to the Kop with us every game but now we just take it to away games. People will recognise it from the Kop. It's got massive sentimental value to us as a family. We just hope no-one has taken it and dumped it after the game."

The flag has Tony's name and address on the back and he asks whoever has it to return it to him and says he will pay the postage and won't ask questions about how they came across it.
