Merseyside Blind FC take part in special training session at Melwood

Members of Merseyside Blind FC were invited to Melwood Training Ground recently to take part in a special training session to raise awareness of Standard Chartered’s global charitable initiative Seeing is Believing, which aims to tackle avoidable blindness.
Eight players from the squad joined Steven Gerrard, Mamadou Sakho, Adam Lallana and Simon Mignolet for a unique training session led by five of Merseyside Blind FC’s coaches, which included a skills and drills session and a penalty shoot-out.
For the fourth consecutive year Liverpool FC will replace the Standard Chartered logo on their shirts with the Seeing is Believing logo at the fixture against Tottenham Hotspur FC on Tuesday 10th February 2015 to raise awareness of avoidable blindness.
A week-long auction on eBay will follow the game, where five limited edition player shirts from the match will be signed and available for fans to bid on to raise money for Seeing is Believing. All donations will be matched by Standard Chartered, making this fixture the ‘Perfect Match’, with the Club and its sponsor coming together to support an important cause.
Fans can head to www.eBay.co.UK/perfectmatch to bid for the limited edition shirts from Friday 13th – Friday 20th January 2015.
