Anfield's legends will be up against a younger team
Anfield will stage a special charity football match in aid of the Tsunami disaster victims on Sunday.

"Tsunami Soccer Aid" will see a team of Liverpool legends play a team of celebrities from all walks of life.

The game has been organised by Tranmere's former Liverpool midfielder Jason McAteer and former Red's striker, David Johnson.

Ian Rush, playing in the Liverpool team, says the disaster has brought people together from all walks of life.

"I think this is a great opportunity that brings people together from all over the world. Let's all get together to see what we can do for these people."

Other players will include former England manager, Kevin Keegan, Robbie Fowler, John Barnes and Kenny Dalglish.

The celebrities will be relying on their youth to out-play the football veterans and include former Albert Square midfielder, Shane Ritchie and Westlife's Nicky Byrne in the team.
