Liverpool’s grassroots football scene takes centre stage on Saturday 9 August, as The Florrie in Dingle throws open its doors for A Celebration of South End Football — a special evening dedicated to the local legends, teams, and fans who’ve shaped the amateur game across generations.
This one-off event invites the community to relive the glory days, swap stories, and honour the unsung heroes of South End football. From the park pitches to unforgettable cup wins, it’s a night to celebrate the pride and passion that made grassroots football such a vital part of Liverpool’s identity.
The Florrie is also calling on the public to share old photos, kits, medals, and memories to help bring the city’s footballing history to life. Organiser Tony Caveny says: “We want to make this event a true celebration of our local football history. If anyone has old memorabilia or stories to share, please send them to tony@theflorrie.org or bring them along on the night. We can’t wait to hear from you!”
The evening includes live music from local favourite Ben Burke, a football quiz, photo opportunities with replica trophies, and a hearty meal — all included in the £20 ticket price. Past and present teams are already lining up to attend, promising a night full of camaraderie, nostalgia and community spirit.
The event is proudly sponsored by DMS CCTV Control Ltd and Calvey Restoration.
Whether you played the game, cheered from the sidelines or have stories passed down through generations, A Celebration of South End Football is your chance to be part of Liverpool’s footballing legacy.
