Sander Westerveld excited for Liverpool legends match Saturday

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Sander Westerveld is excited to return to Anfield for a charity legends match against Chelsea on Saturday. He expressed his enthusiasm in a recent interview, particularly looking forward to hearing the crowd sing "You'll Never Walk Alone." Westerveld played for Liverpool during a successful period, including winning the treble in 2001. He remembers the thrilling match against Chelsea in the 2005 Champions League semi-final. In that game, Luis Garcia scored a controversial goal known as the "ghost goal," helping Liverpool advance to the final and win their fifth European Cup. The legends match is part of an annual event that has raised over £7.5 million for the LFC Foundation. Westerveld will play between 30 and 45 minutes during the game, alongside other former players, including Steven Gerrard. He described these matches as highlights of his post-retirement life. He appreciates the unique atmosphere at Anfield and the opportunity to play in front of a large crowd. Westerveld remarked that only a few clubs can host events like this for charity. He enjoys the camaraderie with former teammates, making these games special for him. Westerveld also joked about former teammate Pepe Reina, noting that he continues to play even as he gets older. He hopes to stay fit and remain involved in these legend matches for years to come.
