Former Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann is set to open the club's brand new retail store in Dublin on Friday October 3 – and supporters are invited to a special meet and greet with the 2005 Champions League winner.

The new Republic of Ireland outpost is located at the Central Mall of the Ilac Shopping Centre in the heart of the city, where fans can take advantage of access to replica kits and training gear, clothing, gifts and much more.

To mark the occasion local Kopites have the chance of winning signed memorabilia and hearing the memories of the popular German simply by attending the official launch from 5pm on the 3rd.

Billy Hogan, chief commercial officer at Liverpool, said: "LFC is one of the most followed football teams in Ireland, so it's fantastic that we've secured a store in the heart of Dublin city centre.

"There will be lots on offer at the new site for our fans and we look forward to welcoming everyone at the official opening with Didi."
