Aleksandar Duric to play Liverpool Legends in front of brother Milan

The media conference ahead of Saturday’s The Castlewood Group Liverpool Masters turned out to be public relations success for the title sponsors, after Castlewood’s chief executive officer Chris Comer delighted Aleksandar Duric (second from right) by bringing the brother of Singapore’s retiring football star to Singapore.

Saturday’s match at Jalan Besar Stadium between the Liverpool Legends and Singapore Ex-Internationals will be Duric’s testimonial match, with more than 90 per cent tickets sold.

For 44-year-old Duric, it will be more special to play in front of his brother Milan, whom he has not seen for nearly 10 years. Said Duric: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Chris Comer (third from left) for bringing my brother here to watch me play for the first and last time.”
