Also, it was a great atmosphere with the Celtic fans as well - it was a great afternoon. "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. When I'm called, I will be ready to come again." Liverpool legend and one of the best midfielders to feature in the history of the Premier League Steven Gerrard expressed his feelings after scoring a goal for Liverpool in ages. "Listen, it feels good when I score in the back garden against Lio! "If you love football, if you love the game, if you love this club, I'll never get tired of that. "There was a bit of pressure on me! I took my son to football this morning and he scored a couple, so he had said to me, 'You best score today or you're going to have to buy me something.' "At least I'll save a few quid by getting on the scoresheet," Gerrard said as quoted by Liverpool. (ANI)
