The City Legends have a select panel to choose from, including the likes of Felix Healy, Liam Coyle, Stuart Gauld, Jack Keay, Gary Heaney and many more.

Local Everton fan James Doherty, who’s helping to organise the game, said it has caught the imagination of Everton fans and their families.

“We’re expected well over a hundred in from around the island to support the Irish Toffees, and hopefully there’ll be a good local turnout as well to help make it a great occasion.

“The Irish Toffees are really making a big effort, with players coming in from Tipperary, Meath, Kildare and Dublin, and others from Derry, Donegal and Tyrone.

“It promises to be a game to remember!”

It is hoped that the Toffees side will be able to run onto the pitch to the sounds of ‘Z Cars’.
