NewsSpecial guests confirmed for Forever Reds Christmas lunch

Performing live at the sold-out event will be comedian and actor Chris McCausland and 2024 winner of The Piano, Brad Kella.

Both passionate Reds supporters, they will be joining Sir Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Alan Hansen, Natasha Dowie and John Aldridge, plus many more former stars.

McCausland won the 2024 Strictly Come Dancing series, with one of his performances set to You’ll Never Walk Alone.

Kella is a self-taught pianist and known as a refreshingly modern voice in classical music.

The annual Forever Reds Christmas lunch, which will take place on Friday December 5, is a seasonal celebration where LFC legends come together to raise funds in support of the club’s official former players association and local good causes.

This year it will be held in The Beautiful Game hospitality lounge at Anfield and attendees will enjoy a three-course Christmas lunch.

Last year’s sold-out event raised more than £80,000 and featured Thiago Alcantara, Robbie Fowler, Steve McManaman, Daniel Sturridge and more.

There will also be money-can’t-buy auction prizes and a raffle. The auction prizes include signed LFC merchandise, plus a special ticket and travel package to see the Reds away in Europe. Fans will each receive a Forever Reds keepsake.

The creation of Forever Reds was driven by the club’s desire to ensure former players always feel part of the LFC family – providing them with support, involving them in important work in the local community and coming together to raise money for local charitable causes alongside LFC Foundation.

Forever Reds has donated more than £340,000 to local charities. A recent example is a donation of £50,000 to Alder Hey Children’s Charity, which helped to finance a new Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

The next Forever Reds event, after the Christmas lunch, is the annual Forever Reds Golf Day on Friday March 27, 2026. Places are still available.

Tee off with a Liverpool legend at one of Europe’s most celebrated championship courses, Royal Liverpool. Hosted by Rush, Aldridge and many more, it will be a glorious day competing on the fairways and greens with a former LFC player in your team.
