Two British footballing giants collide as Liverpool Legends take on Celtic FC Legends in a charity match this March.
The two clubs have dominated in their divisions and are arguably two of the biggest clubs in world football. They’ve both been blessed with fantastic managers, fans and of course players with the likes of Steven Gerrard, Henrik Larsson and of course, Kenny Dalglish to name a few.
Now the two are joining forces in order to raise money for a great cause, with a load of past legends coming together to grace the pitch again in what should be a fantastic event.
