Sean Cox pictured in Aviva Stadium ahead of the Ireland XI v Liverpool Legends charity game

Sean Cox is at the Aviva Stadium as an Ireland XI take on the Liverpool Legends for a charity game tonight.

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 line out to raise funds for his future treatment.

It's been a week of milestones for Sean who also made his first public address earlier in the week.

In the heartwarming video, he gave a thumbs up and thanked everyone who donated and helped with the huge fundraising effort.

Thousands turned out to the Aviva as many big names in the football world play their part for the Meath man.

Among the billings was former pool stars such as Ronnie Whelan, Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush, John Aldridge, Phil Babb and Robbie Keane.
