A passionate Liverpool fan will stop off at Anfield during a mammoth four-day challenge which will see him visit 93 football stadiums in 92 hours.

Darren Young, who served in the Royal Air Force for 16 years, came up with the idea to tour the country against the clock in an attempt to raise money for Help the Heroes.

The squad of four will visit the home of each of the 92 league clubs as well as the national stadium and they will start their journey at Wembley following England's World Cup qualifier against Montenegro on Friday, October 11.

The aim is to be back in time for when Roy Hodgson's men take on Poland on Tuesday, October 15.

The quartet will take turns at driving the 2,600-mile route, collecting donations along the way - and they aim to arrive at Anfield at around 7am BST on Monday, October 14.

Two of the team has military experience - Reds fan Darren and Mark Burns, who is a serving member of HM Armed Forces and a coach at Swindon Town's Academy.

Meanwhile, football fans and businessmen Simon Cox and Mike Peters complete the group.

Darren, from Norfolk, said: "After serving in the Royal Air Force Fire Service for 16 years, I decided I needed to give something back to my country.  

"I am now a college lecturer working with the next generation; however, these learners have inspired me to help people who need my help more."

Mark, from Wiltshire, added: "I have served throughout the world and in more recent years have unfortunately had to witness the devastating consequences of front line combat on our troops. They have been left with devastating injuries that have an effect long after leaving the front line.

"Help for Heroes is a fantastic charity that supports our troops and is something my wife has been involved raising money for throughout the years and is a charity that I felt I personally wanted to do something for."

Bryn Parry, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Help for Heroes, said: "Help for Heroes was launched to raise money to help support our wounded. We appealed to the public to get out there and 'do your bit'.

"The 92 Plus 1 challenge will see dedicated football fans and supporters of Help for Heroes undertake an epic 2,600-mile drive around the country to raise money for the charity.

"We will be able to use the money raised to provide practical, direct support to those who suffered life-changing injuries and illnesses while serving our country."

Many football clubs have already pledged their support for the challenge - with Wembley Stadium being the extra one - and it is hoped more will get on board to help the team reach their goal.

The group welcomes any sponsorship individuals or businesses can offer. It is particularly keen to hear from anyone who has a vehicle they could use to get them through their route.
