IT was not all about football for former stars of Liverpool and Manchester United who turned up in Malaysia for a Battle of the Reds.

Maybank Cards hosted a golf tournament for their cardmembers and the football greats. The event was by invitation only.

A total of 112 Maybank cardmembers along with eight footballers took part in the tournament at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

The greats from the Red Devils were Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham, Keith Gillespie and Wes Brown.

Some of these legends, who have visited this part of the world before, had played our courses, including Yorke, Sheringham, Johnson and Riise.

Many among the current and former footballers also partake in golf.

The recently retired Gareth Bale of Wales, Real Madrid and Tottenham fame was at the forefront of a junior programme to promote golf across Europe.
