“Callum McGarvey died on July 2, 2017. He was my brother, the most productive friend and the biggest Liverpool fan I ever met. Time passed in the blink of an eye, and my circle of relatives and I were decimated by his death. Dublin, Ireland. Callum died suddenly and tragically of an asthma attack at a sleepover, was twelve years old and had just finished school number one and it was two weeks before his 13th birthday, after which he embarked on his teenage years and his life at the best school.
“Liverpool Football Club has given me more than anyone will know. My memories with Callum have been immortalized and a connection like no other. It’s more than a football club, we’re a big family! It’s something exclusive and rare yet. those who are affiliated and hooked to the club will understand, Callum understood and felt it himself. You will never walk alone is much more than a song, a prayer or a hymn, it is a way of life and is carried out and lived through those who are part of our massive red family.
“It is not unexpected that Callum was a big Liverpool fan and Liverpool Football Club played a vital role in his life. Travel to watch combined matches on television are memories I’ll cherish for life. One of the first trips almost ended in a nightmare because our scheduled match with Chelsea was postponed due to the Cup. We had booked flights and accommodation, so Callum and our father Pat went anyway and made the decision to do a weekend and let Callum do the excursion to Anfield for the first time. One thing I’ll never do that day was after the tour, it was during the expansion of the land a few years ago, when we left Callum, crawled under a fence structure and grabbed a piece of debris from the site and said ‘now I’m going to have a piece of Anfield forever,’ and we still have it in your room to this day.
“Callum had combined a massive collection of Liverpool T-shirts for a boy his age. He enjoyed them! Liverpool his life; He even buried under a Liverpool shirt with Sadio Mané and his coffin carried through the church through me, our father and our uncles. while you will never walk alone, played and sung through us and the large number of people present. He enjoyed the game day programs, so I take a house and leave it in his room every time I get the chance.
“I was spending the summer in New York when he died, I had been there for six weeks when I was called about what had happened, but I don’t quite forget the last phone call I had with Callum a few days before. of his death. We talked about it The new signing of Liverpool at the time, Mohamed Salah. I don’t go on to lie; I questioned the signing at the time, but Callum argued it would be a success. I won a text message to day or two later and it was an image of Callum, I had the new Liverpool blouse with Salah on my back. Unfortunately, I don’t think he had a chance to use it and he’s still hanging from the back of the chair in Callum’s room where he left off. Watching Salah pass that season, breaking the record for maximum passes scored in thirty-eight games was and he knew Callum would look down smiling as if he knew what was going on.
“Callum was a big boy for his age, very tall and strong. He himself was a defender, so when he came to footballers, he tended to idolize defenders opposed to attackers as the high-age young men do. It looked like the summer we were.” Ready. to warn Virgil van Dijk and we were ahead of the signage, but unfortunately this did not happen until next January after Callum’s death. I know how much he dreamed of Virgil betting on us and when that, despite everything, he took on his place, I cried for him because I knew how much Callum would have enjoyed it. Virgil if you see this, you should know that you have a big fan in paradise and his call is Callum McGarvey.
“The first time we did the tour, we were lucky enough to meet Martin Skrtel in the mega shop and I never saw anyone more beaten among the stars than my brother that day, I was terrified of asking for a photo, so Callum had bought an autograph e-book immediately afterwards, but unfortunately Array has never been named.
“After Liverpool’s phenomenal European season at 17/18, we monitored to reserve a position for the latest in Kiev. I went alone without an initial price ticket on Wednesday in Dublin and the adjustment only took place on Saturday night. I made a stopover in Istanbul from all positions. Being there early gave me the opportunity to take advantage of every single thing, to live every single thing, the city, the festival, the fans, the occasions and every and every one of the things that the festival had to offer. secular adventure and I never felt alone, I felt Callum by his side in each and every step of the way. I controlled to get a price ticket priced opposite all odds, the result was the only disappointment, however, we not only move to Madrid the following year and raise big ears for the sixth time.
“I sought to write Callum’s story because he didn’t deserve his life to be so short yet, as the old saying goes, it’s not about the years of your life, it’s about life in your years and callum complete life. a loving, supportive, kind and satisfied young man. I would like your story to be known to the players, coaches, legends and enthusiasts of our historic club. It would mean the global for my circle of relatives and especially to Callum. Paradise.
“Every day of the attack gives me the opportunity to get discouraged and enjoy the game with my brother. He would probably not be with me physically but spiritually, he is fine through my appearance and encourages each and every pass and purpose. Luis Suarez used to kiss his family’s calls on his wrist when he dialed, and I also have Callum’s call tattooed on my wrist and in his memory I kiss him with each and every one of the purposes we mark.
“So I ask anyone who reads this to convey her story, to make her hear, and I hope that one day his idols will know him and his eternal love for our football club.”
“I would be happy to share the images from the collection of blouses, scarves, badges, souvenirs, good memories we created in Anfield and the Liverpool city of Callum and even the moment he disguised himself as Jurgen Klopp for Halloween. Pain is the unhook of love to pass there.”
