We'd played golf and I'd told a couple of them the idea when we got to the 19th hole, shall we say and they were like, 'just do it, just we'll help you'."It's been a huge success in terms of getting the players in, and the players of the calibre that I've got in are fantastic."There's going to be some great golf, some absolute legends of the Premier League.

We've got a fan zone going on, so we've got entertainment, we've got stuff on for the kids, we got entertainment for the adults, food and drink. It's going to be a full day of entertainment, whether you like football or you just want to bring your kids out for a day out, you want to try and get them into the golf."We are also raising money for the Oliver King Foundation as well so on the day whatever we make the Oliver King Foundation will get the money that's being raised on the day, which is something that I've always wanted to do."That is the idea (to bring club legends closer).

So you've got other events similar to mine, the likes of Icon Series which I watched and I was hooked on and thought it was absolutely fantastic."But there's one thing about it, it's not accessible to your average fella who goes the match because it's Dubai or Thailand or wherever. This year we're playing the Northern one at a Formby home, which is fantastic."So you're going to be able to see your heroes that I grew up watching."Tickets are on sale for the event, which is being held at Formby Hall.Choose Liverpool Echo as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Liverpool FCEverton FCGolfBarclay's Premier League
