Kop fan Archbishop 'getting red hat to go with red shirt'

This is wonderful news both for Archbishop Vincent personally and for the Roman Catholic Church in England & Wales.

During my time serving alongside Archbishop Vincent in Birmingham I was able to witness first hand his passion and commitment for the Church and I am delighted to see that both of these have been recognised in today's announcement.

It is also good to see that as a passionate fan of Liverpool FC, Archbishop Vincent will be getting a red hat to go with his precious red shirt!

– John Sentamu, Archbishop of York
