Former LFC co-owner Tom Hicks passes away

Hicks, who also had spells as owner of the Dallas Stars and Texas Rangers US sports franchises in his home state, passed away on Saturday.

He and fellow American businessman George Gillett completed an acquisition of the Reds in early 2007.

The pair’s tenure at Anfield concluded in October 2010 when current owners Fenway Sports Group sealed a takeover.

LFC sends its condolences to the Hicks family and Tom’s friends at this difficult time.
