@liverpoolfc: Liverpool FC has installed a permanent memorial at Anfield in tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, on the eve of the first anniversary of their tragic passing. Named 'Forever 20', it celebrates their lives, their bond, and the love and respect felt for them by family, teammates and supporters across the world. Designed by renowned sculptor Emma Rodgers, at its centre is a flowing heart sculpture, in acknowledgement of Diogo's iconic goal celebration. Viewed from different angles, it reveals the numbers 20 and 30, which adorned the back of the brothers' playing shirts. It also features the lyrics to Jota's famous song so beloved by Liverpool fans, with each letter hand-carved and flowing along the fluid lines and elegant form of the sculpture, reflecting the dynamic yet graceful movement of the player himself. The memorial has been placed on 97 Avenue at Anfield, where thousands of physical tributes – including flowers, scarves, works of art, cards, banners and jerseys – were placed to create a poignant tribute area in the immediate aftermath of the tragic accident on July 3, 2025. Some of those physical tributes, including sections of scarves and shirts, have been set in wax and delicately embedded into the structure and surface of the sculpture. Further items are also incorporated into the Granby Rock‑faced stone plinth, laser‑engraved with dedication to both brothers, using Portuguese stone from their homeplace, Gondomar. A single flower placed in tribute has also been cast in bronze, meaning this fragile item of personal remembrance left by a fan at the time of the brothers' passing is now a lasting physical presence. A PlayStation controller also sits on the plinth, a metaphor for Jota himself, his love of gaming, and his signature celebration pose – play and friendship paused in time. Every detail has been carefully considered from beginning to end, with the final touches of patina introducing soft hues of Jota's home flag and the teams he loved throughout his journey. 'Forever 20' will serve as a permanent symbol of love, unity and remembrance, and a place where everyone can reflect, remember and pay their respects.
