With Luis Garcia, as well as his important goals he was just someone you could admire on and off the pitch. He has class, and always worked hard, he always got a vital goal and managed to get a goal out of nothing.

That letter is genius, I was there during his first, and his last when he was injured, he always gave his all and always played with a smile on his face.

The fact he left Liverpool for his family speaks volumes IMO.

The Legend tag fitted him before he wrote this letter, this was just Luis being Luis.

Lets not forget it was he who finished Keane's reign at the toilet

I'll raise you that header against Anderlect. For such a little fella to rise that far off the ground so far out in the 18 yard area, and put it away. Phenominal!

Not mentioned much but his header against Pompey away in the league was also classy

Spoke to Luis last night. He said that he and his wife came up with the idea of the letter, after he said he was feeling upset that he hadn't been able to thank the fans or say goodbye. She then helped him decide what to put.

He's really excited about being back at Anfield (he'd been training there just before) and can't wait to walk down the tunnel (and touch the Anfield sign "with two hands") and run out onto the pitch. He said that, ever since the draw was made, he's been really dreading getting injured and not being able to play, but to date is fine. He reckons he'll start on the bench but really hopes he can play a bit, even if it's only for a few minutes. You could tell from his voice and face, he was genuinely excited about being back. Hope he gets the chance!

He's looking forward to hearing his song again too, so come on people, let's make it a good one for him.

Did I say during the game?

MattLFC08 · « **Reply #406 on:** November 4, 2008, 01:31:25 PM »

I reckon if were 3-4 goals up

with 5 mins to go and he is still on the bench, his song should be sang.

Of course!
He played us all the way to the CL final almost by himself.

Leverkusen (h) one goal
Leverkusen (a) two goals
Juventus (h) one fantastic goal
Chelsea (h) the most important goal in the knockout stages (except the final of course).

He always did his best, his loyalty was immense.

We should sing his song before, during and after the game.

I know I will

Can I just say to all of you going to the game tonight that you are jammy, jammy buggers. If there's one match this year I'd kill to be at it's Luis' homecoming, just to sing his song.

He's 5ft 7, he's football heaven...

Legend.

Sing your hearts out, guys!

Will he be able to reach the sign, He's bit small like

Livbes · « **Reply #412 on:** November 4, 2008, 02:18:39 PM »

Should be sang before kick off, just before the 2nd half and then again at the end, he deserves it for 2005.

It was nice to see Luis Garcia get a good response from the crowd and him recognise it at the end of the game.

Did they sing his song after the game? ESPN are a bunch c*nts and didn't show anything after the game except highlights.

Should they do the same for Wigan and Aston Villa matches too?

hwieniawski · « **Reply #420 on:** November 5, 2008, 06:07:35 AM »

luis garcia is class, great goals, great guy, touching letter. also was watching ESPN, so i couldn't tell what the reaction was

"Stuart" · « **Reply #421 on:** November 5, 2008, 09:21:03 AM »

He got a good reception last night! We sung his song a few times

love:the:game · « **Reply #422 on:** November 5, 2008, 03:59:40 PM »

I was gutted for him last night. He didn't come on until there was only about 5 minutes left, and by that time the crowd were quite deflated. Even though he got a decent reception, his homecoming took second place to the fact that we were losing 1-0.

Ironically, he got a much bigger cheer, and his song sung much louder, when he came out to warm up earlier in the game.

GBF · « **Reply #423 on:** November 5, 2008, 05:44:50 PM »

He still the same class player....came on and changed the score line in our favour!

elnino · « **Reply #424 on:** November 5, 2008, 06:26:30 PM »

Quality from the lad, delighted he got a good reception last night. As frustrating as he was at times they goals he scored outweighed any of that especially the goal against the Chelsea in champs lge, would have the lad back no probs. All the best Luis & thanks. YNWA

Its times like this that you have to hold on the good times and memories, reading that letter still pulls at the heart strings but in the nicest possible way

Luis is a real Liverpool legend (and I'm glad he can't spoil it

)

Fustratingly brilliant summed him up best, I'll never forget those goals Chelsea (oh yes it was) and Juventus CL '05 being my fav's

Paul JH · « **Reply #430 on:** February 2, 2011, 08:26:15 PM »

Frustrated people, and he was, but loved him the entire time he was here. Was a player who thrived on big-games, did a LOT to help us get to Istanbul, and always remember his FA Cup semi-goal and Everton at Anfield goals too. Loved the lad, left with dignity.
