Pictured at a replica of the famous Anfield 'Shankly Gates' are Liverpool fans Rosanna Davison and Dublin GAA star Paul Brogan at the launch of the adidas home away from home campaign.
Speaking at the launch Dublin GAA star and Liverpool fan Paul Brogan, who plays alongside brother's Alan and Bernard on the Dubs football side, said: "There are a lot of Irish people in Liverpool and there's a great history between the city and this country. They're a good team also so you can't go too far wrong supporting them.
"My greatest Liverpool moment is very obvious and would have to be Champions League final in 2005 - it was just amazing and I was watching it in my local pub and the atmosphere was something else, so I can only imagine what it was like over there. It also showed that a team can achieve anything if they want it enough and put the hard work in - it's a good motto and a great example for inspiration."
Rosanna Davison said: "Certainly from a female perspective I often get looks of shock and amazement when I say I am a big Liverpool fan, but I love to go to matches and watch them on TV. I'm just really proud to love the game and I know the offside rule which a lot of girls can't say!
"It's something I really enjoy, watching the game with my family or going over to Anfield. I wouldn't be that mad about watching any old team play, it has to be Liverpool."
She added, "My father has been a fan for years and my brothers are into it as well and I think my Dad's mission was to get us all supporting them - even the dog had a red collar and was a Liverpool supporter. It's been a great family thing growing up. I still love going over to Anfield when I can and nothing beats the atmosphere over at the matches, especially in the Kop." Tweet
