This is wonderful news.
It has been revealed that Liverpool fan Sean Cox will leave hospital to attend the fundraising match in his honour at the Aviva Stadium this coming Friday.
The news broke this morning that the father-of-three will be present to watch a Liverpool Legends team take on a Republic Of Ireland XI, with all proceeds going to the Sean Cox Rehabilitation Trust.
