A distinctive Liverpool fan recognisable for his huge array of badges and scarves has died after being taken into hospital on the eve of the club's Champions League first leg match against Real Madrid.
István 'Füli' Fülöp was a member of the Red Lads Hungary Liverpool Supporters Club and was recognisable at Anfield for his distinctive appearance on match days. Füli "was in love with the team and the city of Liverpool" since 1970 and made the trip over four or five times a year since his first match at Anfield around 10 years ago.
The 61-year-old died earlier this month in hospital in his native country after falling ill on the eve of the club's home fixture against Real Madrid. Friend Roland Császár told the ECHO Füli had suffered with heart problems for a number of years and died of liver disease.
