Posted by

The Liverpool manager has had a rough ride as of late on an off the pitch, but every now and again things come along in life that put everything into perspective and shows us that football is the least of our worries. The Liverpool manager lost his mother Elisabeth Klopp on the 19th of January she was 81

Her funeral was held on Tuesday, but Klopp wasn’t allowed to attend due to travel restrictions.

He told German newspaper Schwarzwaelder Bote: “She meant everything to me. She was a real mum in the best sense of the word.

“As a devout Christian, I know she is in a better place now.

“The fact that I can’t be at the funeral is due to the terrible times, but as soon as the circumstances allow, we will hold a wonderful commemoration that is appropriate to it.”

Everyone here at BenchWarmers would like to send our best wished to Jurgen Klopp and his family.
