The 53-year-old father of three was attacked almost a year ago outside Anfield, before Liverpool played Roma in the Champions League.
On Friday, a team of Liverpool legends will take on a Republic of Ireland selection to support Seán's medical care.
Tickets for the game can be bought here.
Stephen Felle - a friend of the family and head of the organising committee - says it'll be an emotional evening.
