Rooney pays tribute to Rhys

ENGLAND soccer star Wayne Rooney and fiancee Coleen McLoughlin left a floral tribute to Rhys — in the shape of Everton’s famous blue shirt.

The wreath carried the Toffees’ crest and Latin motto — Nothing But The Best Is Good Enough — together with a message which read: “You’re in my heart, you’re in my soul.”

Croxteth-born Wayne, 21, who played for Everton before moving to Man Utd, also left a card pinned to the flowers with a message from himself plus Coleen and her parents, brothers and sister.

Everton striker James McFadden dedicated his Premiership goal against Blackburn to Rhys.

Rhys’s parents Melanie and Steve were at Goodison Park with son Owen to watch McFadden equalise in Saturday’s 1-1 draw. This particular incident has again brought into focus the widespread gang culture seen to be pervading English society in the last few years. Although, arrests have been made in the case but a key witness still remains undiscovered. Parents of the murdered youngster and the police have made appeals to all involved to come forward so that the guilty can be punished.
