From Monday's Echo.
For some, it was the chance to see Steven Gerrard back in action at Anfield.
Others were curious to witness old boys such as Ian Rush and John Aldridge, players they had only seen on archive television clips.
And there were those who couldn't pass up the opportunity to watch Real Madrid greats such as Clarence Seedorf, Luis Figo and Roberto Carlos in the flesh.
Liverpool Legends ultimately triumphed 4-3 over Real Madrid legends on an enjoyableafternoon in aid ofclub charity the LFC Foundation.
But while the action could hardly be described as being legendary - save for some trademark highlights from the returning Gerrard - one aspect of the afternoon was particularly noteworthy.
The attendance.
A total of 53,512 supporters turned up, surpassing any of the previous crowds for a home game this season since the opening of the new Main Stand.
And, as a consequence, it was the largest attendance at Anfield for any event in almost 40 years.
Not since the visit of West Ham United on May 14, 1977, when 55,675 watched the Reds clinch the league title, has the stadium had such a high crowd.
That game ended goalless. At least those at Anfield on Saturday could claim to seeing more goalmouth action - even if the prize at stake wasn't quite as prestigious.
On a side note. Gerrard still had the hunger and desire of old. He'd deffo still do Liverpool a job in midfield for 20+ games a season if he was required
