Everton FC join the hunt for Madeleine

Madeleine McCann's parents are hoping football can keep the search for their missing daughter alive, as her favourite team travel to Portugal.
It has been 29 months since Madeleine disappeared from her family's holiday apartment in Praia da Luz in southern Portugal. Gerry and Kate McCann released an image of Madeleine wearing an Everton shirt shortly afterwards.
That picture has been reproduced on 6,000 t-shirts, distributed to Everton fans ahead of their game with Benfica in Lisbon on Thursday night.
Everton club chairman Bill Kenwright, a friend of the McCann's, says the t-shirts are a way of reminding a worldwide audience that the search for Madeleine continues.
