The Legends matches always provide Liverpool fans with plenty of nostalgia as former players return to Anfield for the charity fixture, and Fernando Torres treated us to a brilliant throwback this afternoon.
The 40-year-old scored the concluding goal in the Reds’ 4-2 win over their Ajax counterparts, netting in front of the Kop, a sentence we’d become very accustomed to reading during his three-and-a-half years with the club.
As if that in itself wasn’t enough of a throwback, he marked his strike by replicating his traditional knee slide celebration with arms extended in acclaim, a familiar sight at this venue between August 2007 and January 2011.
All Torres was missing to really complete the sense of nostalgia was the long blond hair and the headband!
