ORGANISERS OF THE Liam Miller Tribute Match, set for 25 September in Páirc Uí Chaoimh, have today unveiled the squad lists for the game.

The Manchester United ranks will be bolstered by familiar faces from the Class of 92 and onwards through the successful Alex Ferguson era with Corkmen Roy Keane and Denis Irwin joined by Louis Saha, Andy Cole, Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Alan Smith who was unveiled at Manchester United on the same day as Miller in 2004.
