Liverpool Football Club is establishing a permanent memorial at Anfield to honor the memory of former player Diogo Jota and his brother, Andre Silva. Both brothers were tragically lost last year. The memorial, a heart-shaped sculpture, will be titled "Forever 20," a poignant reference to Jota's jersey number, which the club has retired across all its teams.
The tribute will also include Andre Silva's number 30 shirt, worn during his time playing for Penafiel in the Portuguese second division. The sculpture will be mounted on a stone plinth, laser-engraved with a dedication to both brothers, and will incorporate physical tributes left by fans at Anfield. Jota had a distinguished career with Liverpool, contributing significantly to their Premier League title win and other cup victories, scoring 65 goals in 182 appearances.
