00:00Sunshine at Anfield, it's a bit windy out there as well, but Liverpool attacking the Anfield road in the first
00:05half as we look.
00:07The Reds attacking from right to left, Dortmund, disappointed, Dortmund have brought their away kit, not in the yellow kit,
00:13but they're in the all-black away strip, of course, some great names on show,
00:17Steven Gerrard with his first touch, back to Jay Spearing, out towards Fabio Aurelio.
00:22Little Jay Spearing was in there, what was he doing up front?
00:26He wasn't going to have it, that's for sure.
00:27Well, Thiago picks it up now, the crowd's shouting him to shoot, rolls it to his right to Babel, just
00:33outside the box.
00:34Thiago's in, tight angle, flicks it around the goal and in!
00:38Oh, what a wonderful finish by Thiago!
00:42How he got that one in from that angle, I don't know.
00:46Great move, great finish.
00:49Little chip, past the goalkeeper, off the far post and into the net.
00:56What a beautiful goal from the 34-year-old.
01:01He made 98 appearances for Liverpool, just too short of 100, but he got a wonderful reception when he came
01:08out.
01:09Good play there by Ryan Babel.
01:11Into the box, such a tight angle, he played it beyond the reach of Wiedenfella,
01:16into the back of the Anfield road net, and Thiago, on his Legends debut, scores a wonderful goal.
01:23He might be Archie.
01:25Now, Spearing, good ball forward to Babel, just inside the Dortmund half.
01:29Ryan Babel on the run, the Liverpool Dutch forward.
01:32Number one, he scored against Manchester United at Anfield, Ryan Babel.
01:36It's into Gerrard!
01:38Oh, he just missed his kick.
01:40What a beautiful ball by Thiago, lifted.
01:43That pass, lifted over the top of the defence, and Gerrard's looking to volley it, and it missed his kick.
01:48It was a great ball from Jay Spearing up to Babel to start the move, and then Stephen recognised.
01:53Managed plenty of games in the Premier League for Aston Villa against Liverpool.
01:57He's Scotland man.
01:59And it's a loose ball, Spearing intercepts.
02:0217 minutes gone, the Legends leading through Thiago's goal.
02:06Could have been more so far, Thiago.
02:07Gerrard making a run.
02:09It's a brilliant ball to find him.
02:11Gerrard turning, outside the box.
02:13Great ball, Thiago!
02:14What a touch!
02:15What a save by Wiedenfella!
02:18And 20 minutes gone, applause ringing round for forever etched number 20,
02:24Diogo Jota, JĆ¼rgen, and the staff are on their feet as well.
02:28We remember Diogo, and the game is paused.
02:31The game is paused, Steve.
02:34As applause rings out for Diogo Jota.
02:56Fabulous, that. I love that. Everyone's on their feet, applauding.
02:59All of the players are applauding it.
03:01As I say, Yates, that must be emotional for JĆ¼rgen of all coming back.
03:05Oh, I absolutely agree.
03:06Because JĆ¼rgen brought Jotts to Liverpool.
03:09Yeah.
03:09And he loved the guy.
03:11Yeah.
03:11Like we all did.
03:12See JĆ¼rgen and the staff now looking round, taking it all in.
03:15Wow.
03:16Really emotional moment.
03:19Liverpool clear it forward up towards Gerrard.
03:22Good challenge in the end.
03:24Dortmund win it back well.
03:26Jay Spearing, that's a good challenge, running it back.
03:28But Collar, edge of the area.
03:29Plays it back.
03:30Shot comes in.
03:31Wicked deflection.
03:32Super block there.
03:34Zedane, the Egyptian.
03:36And it wrong-footed Sander Westerveld.
03:38And Martin Skirtle with a good block there.
03:40Could have gone anywhere.
03:42Dortmund corner there.
03:43Best chance so far, Yates.
03:44Yeah, I thought Skirtle got across well, did they?
03:45Got the block in, didn't they?
03:47Yeah, still got the answer.
03:49Martin Kelly coming forward well.
03:52Thiago, the only goal of the game from him so far.
03:56Fabio Aurelio.
03:58Oh, it nearly fell for Gerrard.
04:00Spearing!
04:01Oh!
04:02What a strike.
04:03What a moment!
04:05For the under-21s, player coach Jay Spearing.
04:10He'll remember that for the rest of his days.
04:13What a strike from the edge of the box, Dave.
04:16As soon as it fell to him, you're thinking, go on.
04:19Hit that one with the laces, and he certainly did.
04:22That one flew right into the top corner.
04:24Well, he's a great mate of ours, Jay Spearing.
04:28And I remember he scored in the FA Cup semi-final win over Everton.
04:33He missed one when he put it over the bar.
04:35But he makes no mistake with that one.
04:38That was a rocket from Jay Spearing.
04:42Kenny calls him the wee man as well.
04:44He'll say, nice one, wee man, at the end.
04:46Look at this, though.
04:49That's a Gerrard special, that, isn't it?
04:51That is.
04:51Perfect.
04:52Caught it.
04:52Couldn't have caught it any better.
04:54Absolutely.
04:54But then this one fell and came towards me, and it fell, and I just thought, you know what, I'm
04:57going to hit it.
04:58And yet it was one of them ones where it caught it clean, felt nice, and, frankly, it flew in
05:02the top in.
05:02Oh, honestly, I think, I hope that's going on Instagram tomorrow.
05:05Oh, there's no question about that.
05:07It'll be everywhere.
05:08Don't you worry about that.
05:09How's it been?
05:09Obviously, you're back here.
05:11Oh, okay, offside.
05:13Surely.
05:14No?
05:14Is it a goal?
05:14Are we reacting?
05:16What's going on?
05:16I think so, but they're all moaning about offside.
05:19Oh, okay.
05:20They've scored, yeah.
05:212-1, Jay.
05:21Right now, your goal separates, though.
05:23How are you feeling?
05:24Have you got any predictions?
05:25And how does it feel out there?
05:28Do you know what?
05:28In the game, they always start quite friendly, but there's no such thing to be friendly once the game starts.
05:33You know, the tempo rises, the demands come from everybody to set the standards, and, you know, the tackles start
05:39flying in, so it's enjoyable, it's fun.
05:41But, yeah, I'm going to see if the manager wants me back on or not.
05:43Well, listen, there's a few people up for man of the match at the minute.
05:46I think you've definitely put yourself in there with that goal.
05:49Anyone else?
05:50Surely Tiago.
05:50In the second half, Crouch, lovely link with Gerrard.
05:56And one towards the left side.
06:00Gonzalez aiming for Gerrard, but Lukasz Picek was there well for Dortmund Legends.
06:09Benny Youn.
06:12He's looking for Gerrard every time, and he might find him.
06:15What a beautiful pass.
06:16Oh, he's getting closer, Stevie, isn't he?
06:19He's getting closer.
06:21Every time, isn't he?
06:22Great run.
06:23Unlucky.
06:23He's crossed it, and Vladdy just smashed it in the net, and it was a brilliant win in the lead,
06:28because we were fighting for the title back then.
06:31But his contribution off the bench in Istanbul, never be forgotten.
06:35Sinema Pongol.
06:36Now, Crouch, is this the moment?
06:38But Lee Young-Pio denies him.
06:41He had to get there.
06:42Crouch is making a great run through the middle.
06:44If he'd have got that, he was wide open in front of goal.
06:4752, Vladdy now, by the newsreads set.
06:50A number 11 jersey that he wore in Istanbul.
06:52He started wearing seven for Liverpool, but when Harry Kuhl signed, Vladdy moved to 11.
06:59Leitner.
07:00Oh, Jan Koller.
07:01He's got his goal.
07:032-2.
07:04The big man.
07:05We said it was such a lethal finisher from Crosses.
07:09That's his forte, and it's 2-2.
07:12And big Jan Koller, now 52 years young, equalises.
07:17Well, we said he was a handful, Steve, didn't we?
07:19And he's just proved it again.
07:23Good ball into the box.
07:26Great header.
07:27Gets it on target.
07:28And the Dortmund fans enjoyed that one.
07:30Oh, they enjoyed that.
07:31I think he did as well.
07:32He did.
07:33Well, we said how much of a threat he is in the air, isn't he?
07:36That's it.
07:36Enjoyed it, Mike Yates.
07:37Absolutely loved it.
07:38Our under-13's academy coach.
07:41And how many seasons is this now for you at Liverpool?
07:43Tell our viewers.
07:45April, he'll be coming up to 26 years coaching at the academy.
07:49And as a player, it's longer than that as well.
07:51So it's 36 years association with the club.
07:55At Liverpool Football Club, Mike Yates, brilliant.
07:56And an absolute privilege every year.
07:59And every day when you go on the grass with these young kids,
08:01they put the red shirt on.
08:02You take the kids all over the world, and they love it.
08:06It's all about, for the badge,
08:08representing what this club is all about, isn't it?
08:11Absolutely.
08:12Everywhere we go, it's about representing standards,
08:14standards, the club, learning.
08:16Now Dortmund trying to get a late winner here with Leitner.
08:18And Koller...
08:21Misses!
08:22Oh-ho!
08:23That could be one of the last kicks of the game
08:25in the final minute now.
08:26And Jan Koller, in his heyday, he buries that, doesn't he?
08:30He does, and you can see...
08:34So again, the big winners of the day, as always,
08:38is the Liverpool FC Foundation raising funds,
08:42much-needed funds, to help our wonderful city
08:45and local communities.
08:46And...
