After getting a birthday present from Jurgen Klopp, Jerzy Dudek was overjoyed, while Fernando Torres relished his reunion with “the best there ever will be” at Anfield for a worthy cause.

The Liverpool Legends game turned out to be yet another unforgettable event for the team and all those associated, with a day filled with emotion as historical and contemporary characters gathered together.

It always seems like going back in time, and many fans will have been transported back to the days of Torres and Steven Gerrard’s partnership at Anfield.

They haven’t worn red together in a very long time, but on Saturday they spoilt us, and even the Spaniard could not contain his happiness at seeing his captain again.

Torres said on social media, “The best there is, the best there was… and the best there ever will be,” a tribute that fans adored despite some conflicting feelings!

Many people associate the two with their formative years, and speaking of youthful exuberance, Dudek was compelled to reveal the autographed cap that Klopp gave him for his birthday.

On the day of the legends game, Dudek celebrated his 51st birthday, a day he stated he had “no words to describe.”

Ian Rush, however, saw no such issue, stating that “sometimes we have to pause and put things into perspective” due to the cause and Sven-Goran Eriksson’s attendance.

“The club continues to create memories that will last forever,” he said, praising the incredible support received today.

Ajax and Liverpool Legends player Ryan Babel expressed his gratitude to be a part of it all and said he “enjoyed every bit of it”:

Incredible atmosphere as we know at #Anfield.. grateful to be part of this all.. extra special to be involved with my boyhood club Ajax as well.. enjoyed every bit of it..
