FORMER Liverpool co-owner Tom Hicks has died at the age of 79.
Hicks and George Gillett purchased a 50 per cent stake in the Reds in 2007 before selling to Fenway Sports Group three years later.
A family statement reads: “Of everything he accomplished in his remarkable life, Tom Hicks’s most cherished title was, ‘Dad.’
“No matter the trials and tribulations he faced in life, he was constant in his generosity and love for his family.
“He remains a guiding force for our family, and we are deeply honoured to continue expanding his legacy.
“Although we are devastated by this loss, we are profoundly grateful to have been his children.”
