Graham will never walk alone, says grieving father

The heartbroken father of a 14-year-old Liverpool fan who died suddenly while playing football told his requiem Mass that he will “never walk alone”.

There were emotional scenes at the Church of Our Lady Crowned in Mayfield in Cork City yesterday at the Mass for Graham O’Connell from The Steeples in Mayfield.

The teenager, who died suddenly on Monday, had been due to return to school yesterday at St Aidan’s Community College, Dublin Hill, in Cork.
