Diogo Jota - Forever In Our Hearts is an intimate biography of the much-loved Liverpool FC and Portugal forward, tracing his life and career before his death alongside brother André Silva in July 2025. Written by award-winning Portuguese journalist José Manuel Delgado, this family-backed UK edition tells the story of the man behind the No.20 shirt.
Drawing on interviews with Jota’s family, team-mates and managers, the book includes memories from his wife Rute Cardoso and his parents, alongside contributions from Liverpool figures including Jürgen Klopp, Arne Slot, Virgil van Dijk and Jordan Henderson. Together, they build a personal portrait of a footballer admired for his character as well as his goals.
The story follows Jota through a remarkable period culminating in Premier League success with Liverpool and UEFA Nations League glory with Portugal in 2025. It also explores the devastating events after his marriage to childhood sweetheart Rute, and the extraordinary wave of grief and affection across football following the deaths of Diogo and André.
Officially linked with Liverpool FC and already published to acclaim in Portugal, Forever In Our Hearts preserves Jota’s football story and family legacy. For Liverpool supporters, Portugal followers and readers of football biographies, this hardback is a moving addition to any football book collection.
