A group of footballers training on a Merseyside beach sprung into action when they noticed a couple had become stuck in the sand.
On Monday, June 3, at around 8pm Southport FC were at Crosby Beach for pre-season training. Just as the session was coming to a close the squad noticed two people in distress.
After running over they discovered a couple had become stuck in the sand with one person up to their waist. The players then set to work to free them and over the next ten minutes helped to bring them both to safety.
