Reds mourn former defender Roque

Liverpool were last night mourning the death of their former player Miki Roque, who died in Barcelona at the age of 23 following a fight against cancer.

Real Betis defender Roque, who underwent surgery to remove a tumour in his pelvis last year, came up through the ranks during four years at Liverpool between 2005 and 2009 and helped the club win the 2006 FA Youth Cup.
