Steven Gerrard
“We’re obviously here for a great cause. It felt like a family day today for us all. 60,000 again is amazing, for great causes, and it’s an absolute pleasure to be here.
“The brain still works the same speed, it’s just the body is two or three seconds behind! So, there were a few frustrating moments. But it was nice to link up with a bit of quality today. Deserved Man of the Match [Thiago]. Unfortunately, we couldn’t win the game for supporters but it was still a fantastic experience.
“It’s a fantastic buzz. The last time I played football and saw these guys was one year ago. It’s too long but everyone is busy doing their own thing. When the invite comes to come and be part of this, you can’t wait to get together. We’re one big family. The club are amazing [with] what they do for ex-players.
“The support we’ve had today, 60,000 – come on, no other club in the world does this, 60,000 for exhibition games. The big thing for me is where the money goes, it goes to fantastic causes, helping a lot of people in need. And that’s the reason why we’re all here today.”
