Jurgen Klopp delivers message of support to LGBT+ community at national awards event

Jurgen Klopp delivered a powerful message to a star-studded audience at the British LGBT Awards over the weekend.

The Liverpool manager was nominated in the prestigious Celebrity Ally of the Year category alongside the likes of music star Alicia Keys - who was crowned the winner, narrowly beating the German coach after a huge public vote - and actor Daniel Radcliffe.

Joining via video link, the 55-year-old said: “I have always been a supporter of the LGBT+ community and if I can do anything to make a difference, then I will certainly try my very best. Wearing my rainbow laces for the whole season is my way of showing support and it’s about what we all do every day that will make the world a better place.
