HEROES from Merseyside’s two Premier League clubs joined fans ahead of this Saturday’s derby clash.
Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher and Everton’s Leighton Baines picked two sides to represent their clubs and compete against each other.
The stars were at Goodison Park last night to give the lucky 16 fans their kits for the big game, after they were selected from more than 80 trialists.
Their aim is to break 31 hours and achieve the Guinness world record for the longest continuous game of five-a-side football.
Carragher said: “I think it’s great that the two clubs are coming together in derby week. It shows that we can be united and it’s about time that we come together a bit more.”
The 23 Foundation, Everton Foundation and Cash For Kids will benefit.
Baines added: “I think it will be a great achievement for players to beat the record and get themselves in the Guinness Book of Records.”
The game starts on March 27 at St Mary’s College Sports Centre, Crosby.
