Liverpool Legends vs. Australian Legends: Score, Reaction and Highlights

A collection of Liverpool legends rolled back the years on Thursday, as they beat a team of Australian soccer icons 4-0 at the ANZ Stadium, Sydney.

In an XI skippered by Steven Gerrard, Luis Garcia gave the Aussie Reds plenty to cheer in the first half, putting his team ahead before the break. Just three minutes after the restart, he notched his second of the day with a neat header, before the club's all-time top scorer Ian Rush got in on the act and John Aldridge rounded off the rout in stoppage time.

The Liverpool Twitter feed gave us a rundown of which players would be taking the field for the Reds ahead of the game, and it was quite a cast of former Anfield stars:
