Liverpool legend Ian Rush has offered a touching tribute to Sean Cox after last night's charity game proved he will 'never walk alone'.
Cox was at the Aviva Stadium as an Ireland XI take on the Liverpool Legends for a charity game in benefit of his rehabilitation fund.
It is the first time the Dunboyne man has left a medical set-up since his horror attack in Liverpool in April last year.
The dad-of-three was pictured at the Aviva giving an 'OK' sign as Ireland and Liverpool lined out to raise funds for his future treatment.

And Rush paid his own tribute later, posting a picture of himself, fellow ex-Liverpool frontman Kenny Dalglish, and Republic of Ireland boss Mick McCarthy on Instagram.
"27,000 fans tonight at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin validated that Seán Cox will Never Walk Alone," the post read.
It's been a week of milestones for Sean who also made his first public address earlier in the week
