The players all wore shirts that said ‘Jordan 7’ on them while warming up for their clash with Manchester United on Thursday.
A Liverpool Tweet read: “You’ll Never Walk Alone, Jordan Banks.
“Nicknamed ‘mini-Milner’ by his coaches, Jordan was a brilliant person, as well as a passionate footballer. We’re all thinking of his loved ones tonight.”
In a statement released by Lancashire Police, Jordan’s family said: “Yesterday our worlds stopped.
“We lost the brightest star our beautiful boy Jordan.
“His laugh, that infectious smile, golden curls, he was our everything.
“Wise beyond his years, caring, considerate, generous and so loving. Our love is endless. Goodnight beautiful boy.
“We thank you all for your kind words and support but as a family ask that you respect our wishes and privacy.”
