LIVERPOOL (Reuters) - Former Liverpool players Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan and Robbie Fowler will return to Anfield to play in a charity match to raise funds for victims of the Asian tsunami.

The trio will play in a Liverpool legends side against a celebrities team on March 27, Easter Sunday.

The match has been organised by the charity Tsunami Soccer Aid who hope a 40,000 crowd for the match and associated events will raise over one million pounds.

Charity member and ex-Liverpool player Jason McAteer said: "Liverpool is second only to Manchester United in terms of support in Asia so it's only right we stepped up to do something."
