“In terms of choosing our charity for this year’s event, it wasn’t a conversation,” said Ste.

“For me, personally, it’ll be so emotional to raise funds in his name because he was the type of friend I wanted in my life. I had my own battles a few years ago and he supported me.

“There’s a saying that’s come about since his passing – ‘be more like Dan’. The stuff that Dan did that people didn’t know about is testament to the type of person he was.

“He’d volunteer to feed the homeless on Christmas Day, volunteer at dog shelters. All these little things made him, and for a Foundation to carry on his work, it’s a no-brainer for us to support it.

“He was part of us; we are part of Dan. We will always be there for the Foundation.”

The golf day continues to thrive and, with each passing year, further enshrine Anne’s legacy.

Her son Kevin was 15 when he lost his life at Hillsborough.

From that tragic April afternoon in 1989 through to her final days, she fought non-stop to unearth the truth about his death.

Her sheer devotion and selflessness inspired an entire city.

Rocked by Anne’s passing in April 2013, Ste, along with fellow fans Andy Hudson, Sean O’Reilly-Doyle and Gareth Penman, organised the first golf day in her memory.

It has since become an institution.

“We’ve built a community – people meet each other for the first time and make friendships for life,” explained Ste.

“They travel from all corners of the UK and beyond to be involved. Every person who walks through the door buys into what we’re trying to achieve and what we stand for.

“We’re as proud as ever that Anne’s legacy is supporting amazing people in this city when they need it most. We try to do nice things for nice people, and nice people deserve our support.”

Ahead of today’s event, messages flowed in from icons such as Sir Kenny Dalglish, Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher and Ronnie Whelan.

World-renowned golfer and Kopite Tyrrell Hatton, who first came onboard after Liverpool’s 2019 Champions League victory, has once again expressed his backing.

And on a day when attendees will celebrate and honour special legacies, the sudden and tragic news of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva’s passing will be at the forefront of people’s minds too.

“There’s no doubt at the end of the night we’ll have a sing-song, and no doubt Jota’s name will be sung,” said Ste.

“We’re all match-goers and that news has affected everyone in different ways, but we’ll always cherish and remember the good times – and there’s been few better times than his goal against Everton last season, to name just one.”
