Liverpool fans are known worldwide for their terrific support of their club.

There is a reason Anfield is such a legendary stadium in the world of football and it has everything to do with the supporters who fill it on a bi-weekly basis.

Often this support is shown through a cacophony of noise, as Liverpool fans sing songs for their favourite players.

To earn your own song from the Kop is a rare honour in football, as is the achievement of having a banner displayed in your name.

For everything he gave to Liverpool during his time with the club, Luis Suarez was a well-deserving recipient of both.

And according to former West Ham defender James Collins, one banner he saw in tribute to Suarez over 10 years ago has left a lasting impression on him to this day.

Suarez was a sensational player for Liverpool.

He hit 30 goals that year before going on to get 31 in the next.

This was the Suarez Collins faced during a 0-0 draw on Merseyside on April 7th 2013.

I don’t know if anyone ever really remembers their best game, but that game stands out,” Collins told That Peter Crouch Podcast.

“Why it stands out I think is Suarez was Suarez at the time, unplayable at points.

“He was brilliant at it.”

Expanding on how the game ultimately played out, Collins says that after seeing the banner, he vowed to not let Suarez get the better of him.

“Right then on that pitch I just decided, ‘I’m going to steam into him’,” he admitted.

But there’s pictures about of him wincing with me steaming in and that.

“It’s the best game I ever played and my tactic literally was to kick him every time he got the ball!” Collins continued.

He didn’t react at all.”

Given that Liverpool could not get a goal all game, it sounds like Collins did his job.
