But when I got the phone call about the game, it was a bit emotional.To have the chance to go back one more time to Anfield, and to play with some of the team-mates who I played with during my six years, will be amazing.” Dirk Kuyt said as the Dutch player said that having the chance of returning to Anfield is great even though it’s only going to be for a charity match.
