‘I often get asked about leadership in football, but in “real life” I can think of no greater example of what a leader is than Seán’s wife, Martina. I have followed what she has done for her husband and her family and it has humbled me.’ Jürgen Klopp, from the foreword.

Life as we know it can change in an instant, in the blink of an eye, and it did for Martina Cox and her family in 2018.

On an ordinary day in April that year, Seán Cox travelled to Anfield to watch his beloved Liverpool FC play. But he never made it to the match. A vicious, unprovoked attack left him with a severe brain injury, unable to walk or talk.

Here, Martina tells their remarkable story. It is a story of inner strength and determination, of dedication and commitment. By not taking no for an answer, and with the help of their family, their community, the Liverpool spirit and tens of thousands of people across the world who were touched by Seán’s story, they have achieved what was thought impossible.

With Hope in Your Heart brings Seán’s story up to the present day. At its heart, this is a love story – the kind of love that conquers all.
