Former Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert says he lost his love for football after moving to Anfield in 2014.

The striker, 35, recently called time on a great career which saw him rise from the lower leagues to the Premier League and England recognition.

Such was Lambert's consistency in front of goal for Southampton, netting 117 goals in all competitions for the Saints, that he attracted the interest of his boyhood club Liverpool, joining them in 2014.

However, the ex-Three Lions international featured sparingly for the Reds, scoring just three goals in his only season at Anfield before moving to West Bromwich Albion in 2015.
