Steven Gerrard backed Robbie Fleming's family after tragic death in 2018
A Council block on a Co Antrim Liverpool fan’s memorial bench being moved has been lifted after an online petition garnered more than 1,100 signatures.

But at the Council’s recent environment committee meeting earlier this month, new rules were signed off meaning the bench can be relocated. Robbie’s mother and councillors who campaigned on behalf of the family welcomed the relaxation of the regulations.
Robbie Fleming died suddenly at home in Lisburn on June 5, 2018. When an article on the death appeared in the Liverpool Echo, former England and Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard made contact with the Fleming family and invited them over to Anfield. Former managers, Kenny Dalglish and Roy Evans as well as current player Trent Alexander-Arnold also paid tribute to Robbie at the time with video messages sent to his family.
“I then approached the council to get this changed with the family generating a petition. Robbie was well known in the Lisburn area and passed away in tragic circumstances. This will come as a great relief to the Fleming family.” Any new bench at the cemetery will be placed on a plinth with the family of the deceased responsible for its upkeep.
A council officer responded: “We have 37 existing plinths. Nine of those have a bench in disrepair, so they will likely be removed if they are not kept up to standard by the people who purchased them. And we have 28 empty plinths at the minute. That is currently what we have on offer.
