Memorable day for local community at LFC Legends charity match

A sell-out, 54,000-strong Anfield crowd saw a host of Reds greats face their Bayern Munich counterparts in a 10-goal thriller, while a wealth of community activities took place around the stadium.

Guests from Liverpool-based charities and community groups - including Alder Hey Children's Charity, 23 Foundation, Owen McVeigh Foundation and CHICS - plus pupils from local schools were invited to watch the game courtesy of more than 500 free tickets from LFC Foundation.

One hundred young people from across LFC Foundation programmes - girls' football and Premier League Kicks - were given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play their part in the game, taking up mascot, flagbearer, ball boy and ball girl roles on the day.
