“I’ll never get tired of that”- Steven Gerrard reacts after scoring for Liverpool at Anfield

Liverpool icon Steven Gerrard says he’ll never tire of scoring at Anfield

Liverpool FC Legends won their LFC Foundation charity match over Celtic Legends 2-0. Former captain Steven Gerrard opened the scoring for Liverpool legends, scoring from a spot-kick. Mark Gonzalez scored the other goal, making it an easy win for the home side.

Gerrard spent 17 seasons at Liverpool, captaining the side for over a decade, and he is one of the greatest players in the club’s history, if not the greatest. During his time at Anfield, he scored 186 goals in 710 appearances, and he played a vital role in some of the club’s most memorable moments in winning the 2005 UCL.

For Gerrard, Anfield was more than just a stadium; it was his home. Every time he stepped out onto the pitch, he obviously knew that the fans in the stadium and even the ones watching from home were behind him every step of the way.

Here is what he told the club’s official website reflecting on his goal which broke the deadlock in the charity game:

“If you love football, if you love the game, if you love this club, I’ll never get tired of that.”

Gerrard scores again for Liverpool

Liverpool fans hold Gerrard in the highest of regards, and he is obviously revered as more than just a hero at the club. His passion, skill, and leadership certainly inspired a generation of players, and he played a significant role in the club’s resurgence in the early 2000s.

Gerrard would have had a sense of nostalgia and excitement when he scored a penalty at Anfield in the charity match. For him, it was a chance to relive some of the magical moments he experienced at the stadium, and it was a way for him to connect with the fans once again.

For Liverpool fans, Gerrard’s comments about scoring at Anfield are a reminder of just how much he loved playing for the club. His passion for the game and his connection to the fans were evident every time he stepped out onto the pitch

It is clear that he still feels that connection to this day, and naturally. A local lad, getting to play for his boyhood club, let alone captain the team for almost a decade, he lived the dream of any football fan in Merseyside supporting the Reds, and the following he has is unprecedented.
