Jurgen Klopp gets his wish as Anfield hero wins gold medal at Commonwealth Games

Jack Hunter-Spivey has won a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games - and has helped achieve a wish granted by Jurgen Klopp.

Liverpool fan Jack, who grew up in Anfield, has won the gold medal for men’s singles table tennis event in Birmingham. He beat Nigeria's Nasiru Sule 3-1 to bring the medal back to Merseyside.

The 27-year-old had previously harboured hopes of being a professional footballer, with Steven Gerrard an idol of his. Born with cerebral palsy, Hunter-Spivey instead took up para table tennis and has brought home the gold with his efforts at the Commonwealth Games.
