Steven Gerrard was just one of XI Liverpool legends who took to the Anfield pitch on Saturday to feature in a charity match against AC Milan.
Reds stars including Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen and Ian Rush, all took part in the event against a Milan side featuring such legends as Paulo Maldini, Andreas Pirlo, Alessandro Nesta, Cafu and Kaku.
Gerrard rolled back the years with a brilliant performance for the Reds, stirring memories of his display against AC Milan back in the Champions League final of 2005.
But some fans who tuned into the game were a little confused by what sounded like booing being aimed at Gerrard whenever he was on the ball.

On Twitter, one user asked: “Am I going crazy, or is Gerrard getting booed at Anfield?” While another added: “Not sure why Steven Gerrard gets booed every time he touches the ball.”
A third asked: “But why is Gerrard getting booed every time he gets the ball?” And a fourth concluded: “Anyone noticed Gerrard getting booed? Might be hearing things.”

Liverpool fans weren’t among those asking this particular question however as they knew exactly what supporters inside the ground were shouting at Gerrard.
“[They’re] not booing, they are encouraging Gerrard to shoot,” explained one fan, while another added: “Everyone in the stadium wants Gerrard to shoot.”
