FDNY soccer team joins forces with LFC Legends in New York

During the three hours, 67 kids took part in the training sessions, which included a warm up, ball skill activities, and soccer coaching 'The Liverpool Way'. They also got to show off their skills to Reds Legends, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler and John Arne Riise.

LFC ambassador, Rush, said: "We’ve seen some brilliant talent from local kids in Queens today, and it has been great meeting the New York firefighters, who not only risk their lives every day in their job, but also take time to give back to the local community."

The local kids who took part were invited through the FDNY's youth opportunity programme, and some of the members of the fire department brought their children along to enjoy the soccer event, which ended with a fun family-friendly BBQ.
