Raul Meireles appears at Steven Gerrard’s charity match dressed like hipster hobo version of Michael Stipe

What's the frequency Kenneth?

Raul Meireles is missing Steven Gerrard's charity match against a Jamie Carragher XI but the former Reds midfielder took time out to lend his support to the good cause. Meireles was interviewed on LFCTV as part of the build-up for the fundraiser at Anfield, this afternoon. His choice of attire was bafflingly haphazard. Porkpie hat, medical gown/t-shirt, tattoo sleeves and a Rasputin beard. It is certainly one way to roll. This afternoon will reveal whether either Carragher or Gerrard bothered picking up the phone to replace the ailing Meireles with keen-as-mustard Brazilian defender Fabio Aurelio. As for the match itself, the team sheet was revealed shortly after 1:40pm and there was a couple of bombshells. Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres start on the bench for the Gerrard XI. Scandaloso!
