Everton's home game against Southampton on Monday night will see the Club pay tribute to 11-year-old Alfie Humphreys, who tragically passed away last week.

The Club will display a tribute to Alfie, a dedicated Evertonian, on the big screen at Goodison Park during Monday's match, on 11 minutes. Supporters watching from home are also encouraged to join in with a minute's applause to celebrate Alfie's life.

"He was such a lovely boy and he had a heart of gold," said Alfie's mum, Nicola. "I know everyone says that about their children, but he would have done anything for anyone, especially me. He was my best friend.

"He loved Everton and couldn't wait to go [to see them again]. I've asked all my neighbours to put flags out for him, he absolutely adored the Club."

Alfie's step-mum, Lisa, added: "He was always out playing on his bike or his scooter, or playing football with his friends.

"He was a massive Everton fan and he loved playing football. He was very well-liked and very kind-hearted."

Alfie, a talented Widnes FC footballer, passed away suddenly in his sleep last week.
