Dear Liverpool FC x NIVEA Men - Alex's Heroic Story

In the latest Dear Liverpool FC, we look at another incredible story. At the start of the year, @LiverpoolFC fan John collapsed playing Sunday league football and went into cardiac arrest. He wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for the quick actions of Alex, a fellow Liverpool FC fan and advanced Nurse practitioner. With the help of Virgil van Dijk, John surprised Alex to thank him for saving his life ❤

For Van Dijk to offer a personal donation to the foundation as well like that, speaks volumes. I'm a United fan but I have much respect for people who give their time like this.

Absolutely fantastic and you could really see that VVD was moved by the story, and it could be any one of us, so well done to Nivea Men UK, Liverpool and VVD for making this special video.

This video says it all about one person helping another in time of dire need which has bonded a friendship and for Nivea Liverpool fc and Virgil to help out and be part of it is fantastic no matter what position in life you are in wether a top footballer or someone in a not so privileged position we should all help one another as sometime in life we all need that someone to have your back and be there YNWA

I listened to the taw podcast this morning and Oliver's father was on it. Such a good man living thru the horrible experience of losing a lovely child at an early age. I had to switch it off (obviously finished it later) the way he spoke about Oliver really touched me...not good at 330am but keep up all the great work and thankfully there is Proper Angel's out there ❤ ynwa❤

Virgil you have a great heart of gold for what you do yo other people and l reallly and truly take my hat off to you.

Brilliant stuff. So happy that Alex could help, that John is alive and well, and that the Oliver King foundation is making a difference. When pay day comes, I’ll gladly make a donation.

Also, I found this video after listening to Oliver’s dad’s story on the anfield wrap podcast. What a hero.

Well done all.

What an incredible use of sponsor investment and incredble that LFC leant into this so much as well.... highlighting members of the fan-community, positive masculinity, relationships and connections + a massively impactful donation. More of this please!

Amazing! When a football club becomes something more. As an arsenal fan i belive every club in the world should aspire to do more of what Liverpool are doing for its people, community and city. Heartwarming to watch!
