Kop hails former heroes
Luis Suarez and Fernando Torres making their way onto the pitch at Anfield yesterday
Luis Suarez claimed that Liverpool is the only English club that could tempt him back to the Premier League after he received a rapturous reception on his return to Anfield yesterday.
Suarez played 45 minutes of a charity all-star game organised by Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher, joining ex-Kop heroes Fernando Torres, Xabi Alonso and Pepe Reina.
"You never know in football what the future holds but if I ever play in England again I will play for the Liverpool team and not another team," said Suarez afterwards.
"It's great to come back to Anfield. I've missed the fans. The atmosphere is unbelievable, it's amazing. Everyone who's played for Liverpool knows how important the supporters are. They know they are in my heart."
The choreography was more Broadway than Merseyside as Suarez and Fernando Torres made their entrance. While the players lined up to start the second half, the two former Liverpool strikers emerged from the tunnel to what amounted to a redemption song from The Kop.
Mario Balotelli scored the first and made the second for Didier Drogba on behalf of Carragher's all-stars, while Gerrard scored a penalty in each half.
