Liverpool fan Sean Cox is to leave hospital for the first time on Friday.

He is set to attend a charity match in his honour.

It's almost a year since the 53-year-old was attacked outside Anfield before a Champions League match.

After the attack, Seán spent five weeks in a specialist neurological unit in Liverpool.

He was then transferred to Beaumont Hospital in Dublin.

On Friday, a team of Liverpool legends will take on a Republic of Ireland selection to raise funds for his medical care.

The match will see a team of Liverpool FC Legends take on a Republic of Ireland XI team.

Irish players such as Kenny Cunningham, Ray Houghton, Damien Duff and Niall Quinn will be joined in the stadium by the likes of Liverpool legends Sander Westerveld, Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush and Steve McManaman.

Four players will represent both teams: Phil Babb, Jason McAteer, Robbie Keane and John Aldridge.

Kenny Dalglish will manage the Liverpool side, while Mick McCarthy will take charge of the Irish team.

Tickets for the 7.45pm kick off at the Aviva are available on Ticketmaster.
