Kerkez’s father sparks criticism over post from Hungary-Ukraine match

Sebastian Kerkez, father of Liverpool and Hungary defender Milos Kerkez, has drawn criticism after sharing a photograph showing his son in a confrontation with a Ukrainian footballer.

The image was posted on social media alongside the track Russian Paradise, performed by Noggano and AK-47. Ukrainian users responded by urging Kerkez’s father to remove the photograph.

He did not delete the post, which remained online for 24 hours before automatically expiring.
