Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho broke down live on French television when interviewed about his dad, who died when he was just 13.

The 23-year-old, who signed with the Reds from PSG in the summer, said he had a tough time growing up.

He refused to elaborate however, adding that he is a proud person so refuses to speak further about it on TV.

Speaking about his coach, Sakho said: "It's really nice to hear, it is touching."

The conversation then turned to his father and he added: "I lived through so much difficulty with him, that today I know that he would proud of me, to see me like that.

"When I say struggle, it was stuff I've never dared to speak about on TV because I'm a proud person so I'll never speak about it.

"I was a nomad from Paris. I know what I'm talking about, some people don't know. I'm someone who comes from far away, very very far."
