“No other club can do it, very proud to say that. We fill it out every time we play and it goes far abroad and shows people what the Liverpool fans are made of to back us up. ” The former striker continued by pointing to the wider impact beyond the pitch, adding: “Over £1 million raised for local charities… It’s a win-win situation.
The players come back and experience what they used to do, a 60,000 crowd. ” That sense of pride was echoed across the squad, with Pepe Reina also reflecting on what it means to return. “Any time they invite us, we are blessed and honoured to be here in front of this crowd.
Obviously this stadium feels [like] home and hopefully looking forward to many more. ” Passion remains long after playing days end (Photo via Liverpoolfc. com ) For Ryan Babel, the day was about reconnecting with memories that never truly fade, even if the body doesn’t quite respond the same way anymore.
