Staff and patrons from New York Liverpool FC bar Carragher's are taking on colleagues from a rival Reds bar in a fundraiser for injured fan Sean Cox . The West 39th Street pub is going head to head with the Irish American - both bars are based in Manhattan and owned by Jamie Carragher’s 45-year-old business partner Brian McClaughlin. Sean Cox was attacked close to Anfield before the Reds’ Champions League semi-final first leg against Roma on April 24 last year.
