Steven Gerrard helps Forever Reds raise £37k as touching David Johnson tribute made

Liverpool legend John Aldridge paid a touching tribute to former Reds striker David Johnson at the annual ‘Forever Reds’ Christmas lunch, as over £37,000 was raised for charity courtesy of the live auction at Anfield.

Forever Reds is the club’s official former player association, which was created to ensure former players always feel part of the LFC family – providing support, involving them in important work in the local community, and keeping them informed of new developments across the club.

Working closely with the LFC Foundation, Forever Reds raise money for both former players in need and for local charities on Liverpool and Merseyside. From last year’s Christmas lunch, £15,000 was donated to the British Red Cross appeal, helping those affected by the crisis in Ukraine.
