Liverpool-based artist John Culshaw has painted a poignant mural of the late Diogo Jota on the exterior wall of the Halfway House pub, a popular gathering spot for Liverpool supporters near Anfield[1][2][4]. The artwork depicts Jota making a heart sign, symbolizing the love and memories he shared with fans, teammates, and the city—a tribute reflecting the enduring impact he had on the club and community[1].
Jota tragically died in a car accident in Spain alongside his brother Andre Silva, shortly after recovering from lung surgery. In response, Liverpool retired his number 20 jersey, acknowledging both his invaluable contributions on the pitch over five years and his profound personal influence off it[1]. The mural has been warmly received by supporters and Jota’s family, who visited during its creation[1].
This memorial not only celebrates Jota’s legacy but also strengthens the bond between Liverpool FC and its passionate fanbase, preserving his memory at the heart of the city he loved[1][2].
