Hoops Boss Landlording It Over Opposite Number

WHILE the ‘Match For Cancer’ event will be a football celebration, with fans cheering on Celtic and Liverpool icons, the main purpose of the game is to raise money to help in the battle against cancer.

And Jurgen Klopp is happy to play even a small part in coming up to Celtic Park on Saturday, September 8 to make James Milner’s squad against a Stiliyan Petrov select, manager by Brendan Rodgers.

“Cancer is an indiscriminate illness,” Klopp said. “It doesn’t care how old you are, what your gender is, how much money you have or even, as proved with Stiliyan and other athletes who have experienced this, how fit and healthy you are.

“Cancer, potentially, can affect and impact on anyone. So because it impacts so many people, I think it makes sense that when we can do things to help raise some money to help, we should.
