LIVERPOOL fans are being urged to get behind a campaign to applaud in memory of a Wirral dad who lost his life in a car crash last month.

Liam Clark, 21, died after his white Citroen van was involved in a collision with a farm vehicle near Birmingham on Tuesday, September 10.

He leaves behind his girlfriend Olivia and three-month old son Rauiri.

A goalkeeper for North Wirral Saints in the Wallasey Second Division, Liam's family and friends have now thrown their weight behind the Clap for Clarky campaign in a bid get fellow Liverpool fans to applaud Liam on the 21st minute of Champions League clash against Salzburg on October 2.

Wirral Globe:

So far the likes of Robbie Fowler, Jamie Carragher and comedian Paul Smith have all backed the campaign.

Liam's family and friends are now urging others to spread the word and share the #ClapforClarky on social media, they told the Globe: "We want to thank everyone who has got behind our #clapforclarky campaign.

"The campaign is really building momentum and we have had the likes of Jamie Carragher and Robbie Fowler get behind us but we need as many people as possible to help raise awareness so that the applause can happen.

"Please share the message with family, friends and on social media so we can spread the world about #clapforclarky."

Anyone who wishes to support Liam can do by visiting Stanley's on Seaview Road tomorrow (Wednesday, October 2).

The pub will be holding games, face-painting, a raffle and cake sale and will donate 10% of their sales from the day to Liam's family.

Stanley's will show the game and will also be recording at the 21st minute to pledge their support to Liam and his family.

Donations can also be made via collection buckets on the day.
