Ballads and Big Boots: A Day to Remember…
In an unexpected twist of events before the epic Liverpool-versus-Preston friendly, singer Claudia Rose Maguire feared the goal-net might burst, but from her tears instead of goals! The charming anthem diva nearly turned the pitch into a swimming pool, as she bravely belted the legendary “You’ll Never Walk Alone” in honor of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva. As the Deepdale crowd crooned along, Claudia had to brace herself against a whirlwind of emotions more turbulent than a striker’s favorite spin move.
As the Reds strutted down the turf, singing songs sweeter than a striker’s banana kick, fans witnessed a heartfelt tribute before kickoff. Maguire, wife of former Preston star Sean, doubled the musical high-five by also singing Preston’s anthem, leaving everyone more misty-eyed than after an extra-time win. And how about that ultimate captain’s move from Ben Whiteman, laying a wreath like a strategist placing his winning chip on the roulette wheel of football camaraderie?
Despite the walk-on role as an accidental tear-smuggler, our cherished singer left fans applauding with great gusto. Liverpool couldn’t thank Preston enough for the love that oozed from these mega soundwaves. Maguire’s performance turned the stadium into an echo chamber of gratitude that kept fans buzzing longer than a post-match goal debate!
