The former Liverpool goalscorers led a host of former players in taking to social media to thank fans on their return to Anfield on Sunday.
Luis Suarez, Fernando Torres and many other former Liverpool stars took to Anfield on Sunday as part of Steven Gerrard’s All Star charity game.
The Reds captain led a select XI against a Jamie Carragher-helmed side, with the game finishing at 2-2 in front of a packed and rapturous Anfield crowd.
Goals from Carragher selections Mario Balotelli and Chelsea striker Didier Drogba were followed by a pair of penalties from Gerrard to level the score; with no extra time or penalties scheduled, the two sides had to make do with a draw.
After the game, Gerrard led the players in a lap of honour around Anfield, with many having left the club without what could be deemed a reasonable farewell.
Following from that, Torres, Suarez and Co. took to social media to thank the fans for once and for all—here is a selection of the best:
