          I have really enjoyed my career to date at Liverpool Football Club and it is now
          time to do more and more for Charity in the Merseyside area. But how can I
          help? First of all along with my family and friends we decided to donate all
          the proceeds from my Testimonial year to Charity. Then after a great deal of
          consideration I decided that was not enough because I wanted to set up

          something that would last a lifetime and that is why the 23 Foundation was
          formed.
