The stars come out to play for Sean Cox fundraiser

A stellar line-up of former Ireland and Liverpool greats will take to the pitch at the Aviva Stadium on April 12 in a major fund-raising game for Sean Cox, the Irish Reds supporter who suffered life-changing injuries after an unprovoked assault before the Champions League game against Roma at Anfield last April.

Mick McCarthy has agreed to manage a Republic of Ireland XI against a Liverpool FC Legends team, and among those set to line out — some for both sides — will be such household names as Robbie Keane, Robbie Fowler, Jason McAteer, John Aldridge, Phil Babb, Lee Carsley, Ian Rush, and Jerzy Dudek.
