Story
Stephen Darby has sadly been forced to retire from football after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease.
Coming through the youth ranks of his hometown club Liverpool, the right-back made his first competitive appearance for the Reds as a substitute in a Champions League fixture against PSV Eindhoven in December 2008. The following year he made his first competitive start, again in the Champions League, against Fiorentina.
Following loan spells with Swindon Town, Notts County and Rochdale, Darby made the move to Bradford where he spent two seasons as club captain. In 2017 Stephen then joined Bolton Wanderers where in 2018 he was forced to retire.
Liverpool Under 18's and 23's will look to climb Snowdon and raise over £3,000 to donate to the 'Stephen Darby Foundation'. Please support us with your kind donations in being able to achieve this goal.
