"It was nice to be on good grass again. The emotions took over and adrenaline and everything [else] - it was nice to run around, yes.

"To walk out [for the] first time from the locker room into Anfield and to [make] the trip together with the legends team - a lot of memories came back. It was nice to relive them again."He added: "It was really nice to be part of it.
