Liverpool FC legend Robbie Fowler has been thanked for a 'magnificent gesture' to help tackle hunger and poverty in the city.
The former Reds star has donated a total of £18,000 to the Fans Supporting Foodbanks team. The money will help to fund food pantries across the city and a pilot for a community kitchen.
Fans Supporting Foodbanks, set up by current West Derby MP Ian Byrne and his friends Dave Kelly and Robbie Daniels, is well known for its food collections before Liverpool and Everton games. The group have also set up a number of food pantries around the city, where people who are struggling with food costs can get cheaper items.
