The occasion was marked by members of the new organisation recounting their favourite memories of playing at Anfield to schoolchildren from the local area.
The creation of Forever Reds has been driven by the club’s desire to ensure former players always feel part of the LFC family – providing support, involving them in important work in the local community, and keeping them informed of new developments.
Former Reds striker and chair of the association, John Aldridge, said: “This is great news for all former Liverpool players.
“You never lose the connection to this club and our supporters, so to have this link made official cements our place in the history of LFC and means we can do great things together for our local communities.
