Former Man United star Roy Keane is organising the benefit match which will feature former United stars such as Denis Irwin, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, and Rio Ferdinand as well as Irish players, Robbie Keane and Damian Duff.

Figures from the worlds of sport and politics have united in their call for the GAA to make Páirc Uí Chaoimh available for a fundraising soccer game between a Man Utd Legends Selection and a Celtic/Republic of Ireland team.

The game is being planned for the family of the late Liam Miller, a former Celtic, Man United and Republic of Ireland soccer star who died earlier this year from oesophageal cancer. The 36-year-old is survived by his wife and three young children.
