Liam Miller tribute match squads announced with nearly entire Class of ’92 from Manchester United involved
JUST two members of Manchester United's Class of '92 will be absent from Liam Miller's tribute match with a host of star players involved.
Tomorrow's game will be held in memory of the midfielder who tragically passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 36 in February.
The sides will consist of Manchester United Legends in action against a joint team of Celtic and the Republic of Ireland.
Miller starred for all three sides during his professional career, where he established himself as a firm fan favourite.
Ireland's Pairc Uí Chaoimh will be the venue for tomorrow's 3pm clash, with proceeds from the clash going straight to the Liam Miller Fund.
As well as Miller's wife Clare and their three children benefiting, the revenue will also be going to the Marymount Hospice as well as other charities.
Roy Keane will both manage and play for the United side, with the likes of Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Rio Ferdinand, Dion Dublin, and Louis Saha all to feature.
The only two Class of 92 stars to miss out are David Beckham and Phil Neville, but Keane can rely on the experience of Wes Brown, Andy Cole and Denis Irwin.
Martin O'Neill will manage the Celtic and Ireland squad, with Shaun Maloney, Stiliyan Petrov, Richard Dunne, Robbie Keane and John Hartson all looking to make their mark.
Miller - who racked up 21 caps for Ireland - won the Scottish league title with the Hoops during the 2003/04 season, before moving to the Red Devils, where he featured on 22 occasions.
