'Amazing!' - Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard react after LFC Legends' win v Chelsea

**On a fairy tale legends debut...**

**Crouch**: I can say it's quite emotional really because I never thought I'd come back here in any capacity as a player. So to play in the game was, first and foremost, amazing and great for the foundation. But to score a couple of goals in front of my family and friends was amazing.

**On Crouch being invited back...**

**Gerrard**: One hundred per cent. We were trying to get him the third. Everyone was running out of energy, getting tired, but he changed the game. I think we played well throughout the game but we just needed a little bit of magic, a bit of inspiration from the side. The big man came on and provided it.

**On performing the robot celebration...**

**Crouch**: So many kids on the way here were like, 'Can you do the robot?'. I'd rather have not, to be honest, but it was for the kids.

**On how special it was to be playing in front of his children...**

**Crouch**: It really is. To play with the likes of Stevie again is fantastic. My little boy has never seen me kick a football and I think he thought I was lying about it! Great day and great for the foundation.

**On returning to Anfield again...**

**Gerrard**: I think all eyes are on the run-in, we've got a massive game coming up against Everton. But during the international break when you get the invite to come and play in front of a full house, it's impossible to turn it down. As Peter said, the priority is always the foundation, raising large sums of money to support the area, to support the ex-players in need. But it can't be done without the supporters. They're coming here, paying money and it's full house, it's unbelievable. It wouldn't happen at any other club. Crouchy is the hero today but the main heroes are the supporters – always.
