“I know a lot has changed since I’ve been gone.There’s almost no-one left there anymore from the squad I played with. But when I got the phone call about the game, it was a bit emotional.To have the chance to go back one more time to Anfield, and to play with some of the team-mates who I played with during my six years, will be amazing.” Dirk Kuyt said as the Dutch player said that having the chance of returning to Anfield is great even though it’s only going to be for a charity match.

Luis Suarez, Xabi Alonso and Fernando Torres are some of the other big name players that are going to be making their return to Anfield in the charity match as all of these performers have made a significant impact in the Premier League club during their time at Anfield.
