Legends reflect on charity game at Anfield

As was the case with the first leg that was held at Old Trafford in May, thousands of fans turned out to watch great players such as Roy Keane and Michael Carrick renew their rivalry with the likes of Jerzy Dudek and Xabi Alonso, to name just a few.

Following the match, a handful of former United players spoke to club media to share their thoughts on the event at Anfield, where the attendance was over 30,000. Legendary full-back Denis Irwin reiterated the importance of using football to raise money for families and communities in need.

“I know how hard it is to raise money,” he said.
