Tributes have been paid to a "football mad" man who "wore his heart on his sleeve".
Matthew Mutch, from Maghull, was 25 years old when he lost his battle with cancer in June this year. His close friend Adam Edwards paid tribute to Matthew ahead of a charity football match dedicated to his life.
The match will take place at Matthew's former club Maghull FC where he undertook roles as both a player and a coach. Adam described Matthew as the "guy you wanted next to you on the pitch".
