Liverpool FC take on Sydney
07 January 2016 by News Desk
Sydney will play host to football legends Liverpool FC this week when they take on a top Australian side.
Stars including Steven Gerrard will play for the Liverpool FC Legends side during a match in Sydney on Thursday against the Australian Legends at the ANZ Stadium.
The former Liverpool FC captain will lead a squad of former stars managed by Gerard Houllier during the match – Gerrard’s first in a red shirt since last summer when he announced his move to LA Galaxy in America.
At a pre-match press conference in Sydney, Gerrard said: “It’s great to be part of an occasion like this, almost like a reunion of players we played with and heroes of mine that I grew up watching. Hopefully, there’ll be many more of these occasions”.
Steven Gerrard last visited Australia with Liverpool during a pre-season tour in 2013. “It was an amazing occasion, close to 100,000 supporters here, which goes to show the fanbase we’ve got in Australia.”
