Liam will be situated in Ballymoney town centre until Christmas Eve, ready to accept donations for his charities.

He has already been pledged money by well-wishers.

Appropriately enough for a football man, Liam was booked almost as soon as he began his sit out!

But it was all in jest as well-known Ballymoney traffic warden Ian Leighton got into the Christmas spirit and pretended to give Liam a parking ticket for sitting too long in one spot!

So if you’re in Ballymoney any time until Christmas Eve, go along to see Liam and make a donation.
