A "devastated" Liverpool FC fan has lost his season ticket after mistakenly missing the renewal deadline by 12 hours.
Khalil Kawafi has been a Reds fan for as long as he can remember and has held on to his much-loved season ticket for 25 years. However the 58-year-old missed this year's May 24 deadline to renew as he was working away in Germany.
The NHS doctor, working as a stroke consultant in Manchester, said he "completely forgot" about the deadline date and applied for his renewal. Khalil immediately contacted the club after realising he had missed the renewal deadline by 12 hours but was told he had lost season ticket completely.
