He said: "We met through football. He'd be the first to defend you and the first to tell you if you'd done something wrong."They had completely different personalities but that’s the good thing about football, it brings different people together."Ste died on September 3 last year, and just over a year later on September 16, Cal also died suddenly.Myles said: "It’s broken our hearts at the club so unfortunately this will be our last year as a team.



It was just shy of a year between them."One minute you're training at football, the next you get a phone call to say the unthinkable has happened."Myles completed the walk alone, camping for two nights along the A41 before crossing the Mersey by ferry at Seacombe and heading to Anfield.Despite injuring his knee on the first day, being stopped several times by police and getting drenched in heavy rain, Myles said quitting was never an option: "I've spent about four months training for it because I didn't want to fail. Describing the journey as an "emotional rollercoaster", he said: "Mentally it’s been a wonderful thing for me.

It’s a mix of pride in what I've done and sadness about why I’m doing it."He added: "It's freezing in the tent at night. Ambulance workers even pulled over to give me water and a can of Red Bull."When asked what he planned to do once he reached Anfield, he said: "Take the trailer off that I’ve been pulling for three days, throw it in the nearest skip and go home to have a bath."Money raised will help fund a memorial bench placed "where they were happiest" outside their football ground, as well as supporting men’s mental health charities.Myles hopes the walk encourages men who are struggling to reach out.
