Unlike many Liverpool fans, Per Arne Hamre looks back fondly upon May 2014's ill-fated meeting with Chelsea.

The day the Reds' hopes of claiming the Premier League title sustained a decisive blow would be the last time Per, a passionate supporter since the 70s, attended a match with his daughter, Linda.

15 months later, at the age of just 27, Linda tragically passed away.

But a grieving family came together, deciding that a pilgrimage to the home of the passion they shared with Linda - Liverpool Football Club - would be the most appropriate way of celebrating her life.

And so, in December 2015, eight people made the journey from Norway to Merseyside to see the Reds in action.

"We decided for all of us to make a trip to Liverpool in my daughter's memory - as a thank you for being there for us," Per explains.

"My brother (Jan) and his son-in-law (Kristian) have been LFC supporters for a long time, so they also got to realise a dream by visiting the ground and watching a game.

"And we also got to show the ladies (his brother's daughter Tonje and son's girlfriend Malin) the beautiful city.

"We went over there in December 2015 and watched the tie against West Brom. The weekend was a big success and we had a wonderful time together."

When the chance to place a permanent tribute to his daughter at Anfield arose earlier this year, Per moved quickly.

"When I saw Jürgen Klopp holding a stone for the Anfield Forever project, I immediately thought that my daughter needed to have her own large stone - so I ordered it," he said.

"After a few days, I started to think about the weekend back in December 2015 and thought it would be great for everyone to have a stone in the memory of the weekend we had together."

And so stones bearing the names Linda S. Hamre, Per Arne Hamre, Jan R. Hamre, Monica Hamre, Tonje Hamre, Andre S. Hamre, Kristian Skjerstad and Malin Rutle will take their place in the Anfield Forever walkway when it is laid.

Alongside those, Per also has bought a granite stone to pay tribute to the legendary Bill Shankly for good measure.

"My stone with Bill Shankly is because he is the king," Per enthused.

"In my eyes he is the father of the modern Liverpool. In 1959, Bill Shankly became manager, the same year I was born.

"Where would Liverpool be without Bill Shankly? What a man!"

Per tries to make the trip from his home just outside Oslo for games as regularly as he can and is hoping to do so again before the end of this season.

But, whether cheering in the stands at Anfield or watching from further afield, his passion for the club is as strong as ever.

"It means everything after my two children," he adds.

"I'm so proud to be a supporter because LFC is more than just a football club. The history; every single proud moment. Almost every foreign player gets LFC in their hearts - this says a lot about the club.

"They haven't won the league for a long time, so it's for other reasons that the club and the support is so big around the world. It's very special!"
