For the 2025 edition, it was a side of former Chelsea players who made the trip to Anfield to take on a Liverpool team containing the likes of Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia and Dirk Kuyt.

The fans were desperate to see Gerrard net against the side who famously tried to entice him into leaving Liverpool, but it was his former England team-mate, Peter Crouch, who lit up the game.

The palpable atmosphere can partly be explained by the issues that surround Liverpool tickets now and how difficult it is for many fans to obtain them.

It was even mentioned by LFC Foundation chief executive Matt Parish ahead of the game that, for several thousand in attendance, it will be their only trip to Anfield this season.

It shouldn’t be overlooked that many of those are from the local area and, in many ways, that’s what Saturday’s game was all about: Scousers.

Fans could buy tickets for the legends' game off the club website, unlike regular first-team games.

Slot’s current Reds have no shortage of Liverpool heroes who could, in the not-too-distant future, play for the legends’ side, but so long as Gerrard is available to play in these charity games, he’ll always be the star attraction.

At full-time, the former captain led the team on a lap of honor around the ground, applauding the fans who had given up their Saturday afternoons to see a group of ex-professionals misplace passes and jog listlessly around the pitch.

It was, of course, all about the LFC Foundation, who do some incredible work in the local community and will distribute the funds from Saturday’s game towards health initiatives in the Liverpool city region, providing physical and mental wellbeing programmes for people of all ages.

Last year, the Foundation supported over 127,000 people, delivered 18,000 sessions and events across 300 community venues, including 199 schools.
