In this design home shirt Liverpool played in home Testimonial Jamie Carragher
match versus Everton, 4-1, 04.08.2010, at Anfield.
How writen on site Michael Yip (LiverpoolKits com). Each Liverpool player was
allocated with only one match shirt. With 26 non-GK Liverpool players participating, there
are only 26 genuine match shirts in circulation worldwide.

23 Foundation for charity auctions at the post-match gala dinner.
This David Thompson match shirt was acquired by a participant who attended the
aforesaid dinner.
Carra reveals Everton clash
6th May 2010
Jamie Carragher will celebrate his Liverpool career with a testimonial match
against an Everton X1 at Anfield on September 4.
After months of planning, a host of past and present day players will don the red
shirt to take on a David Moyes side and pay tribute to one of Liverpool's all-time great
defenders.
With the date falling during an international break, those players not away with
their countries will be involved in the game, while ex-Reds Robbie Fowler, Steve
McManaman, Dietmar Hamann, Jamie Redknapp and Michael Owen have also confirmed they will
take part.
Carragher is also hoping Sami Hyypia and Jerzy Dudek - both instrumental in the
2005 Champions League success and both now playing their football abroad - can return to
Merseyside to be involved.
All proceeds from the game will benefit local charities through Carragher's '23
Foundation'.
"It has been in the pipeline for four or five months and I've had to keep
things quiet but I'm delighted now that I can start to talk about it properly," said
Carragher. "Hopefully it should be a great occasion, one that the Merseyside public
get behind.
"Every single penny that gets raised will be going to charity and it would
nice to see the stadium full of families because that is what the day is going to be
about. It's a huge honour to play for Liverpool and I just want to try and give something
back.
"Everton and David Moyes have been brilliant from the very start. When I
thought about the testimonial, I started looking at a few different teams and when it
would be best to play it but Everton were always my first idea.
"If we had gone for a foreign team, they would have incurred appearance fees
and travel costs which would have needed paying for but that is not what this game is
going to be about; the money we raise is for the city of Liverpool and Merseyside in
general.
"Obviously Everton have only got to cross over the park but they never had any
interest in expense. Everyone knows I was an Evertonian when I was a kid and I just
thought it would be appropriate for the two teams in my life to have a game of
football."
As well as planning the main event, Carragher has also come up with an idea to
enable children from two local primary schools to play on the hallowed Anfield turf at
half-time,
Carragher is hoping headteachers from schools in the area block book tickets for
the match, and the two schools who book the most tickets will get to play.
"The game between the schools is something that I am very passionate
about," said Carragher. "It would be a fantastic opportunity for some of the
kids to play at Anfield and hopefully there will be a big response."
