Abdo previously recalled how she grew up attending matches at Old Trafford with her father (pictured left) before admitting her mother was a Liverpool supporter.
She added: “I just lost my dad in December. The time I spent with him in the sport was everything to me.
“So hearing how much that meant to you was special. We all know that sports teach character.
“A lot of what’s special about sports is that it teaches you determination, commitment, durability because you have to stick with things.
“What I appreciate about my father is the example he was for me. The good character he was to me. Also, the fun we had in those moments.
‘I’m divorced. I got married a while ago and he gave the speech at my wedding. One of the things he told me is that you’ll look back at a certain point in your life and you’ll never wish you spent more time at work.
“You will always value family in these moments that you experienced. So here is. It’s just awesome to hear what this means to another dad.
