‘Inspirational’ LFC fan had to relearn to walk and talk after coming out of coma

An "inspirational" LFC fan, who got the chance to interview Jurgen Klopp, had to relearn to walk and talk after coming out of a coma.

Loyd Wildridge, 22, from Great Sutton, was born prematurely and began exhibiting signs of a developmental delay in his early childhood. He was put into a medically induced coma at the age of six after suffering with seizures and was diagnosed with encephalitis, a rare but serious condition which causes inflammation to the brain.

Loyd’s mum, Helen, 46, told the ECHO: “At one point, I was actually called to his bedside because we thought he might be lost. We were told to prepare for the worst. He got rushed from Chester hospital to Alder Hey and was in a medically induced coma for a number of days.”
