Liverpool fans' backlash sees Jon Flanagan message deleted as ex-player retires

Liverpool fans did not take kindly to a post from the club wishing ex-defender Jon Flanagan well in his retirement.

Flanagan, 29, came through the Reds' academy and played 40 times for the club in the Premier League. However, the England international was arrested for assault in 2017, towards the end of his time on Liverpool's books, and was handed a community order after pleading guilty to the charge.

The defender, who also spent time in the Scottish and Belgian leagues, announced his retirement after medical advice. Most recently, he had played in Denmark with HB Koge, making a handful of appearances for the team managed by former Reds fan favourite Daniel Agger.
