Gerrard: Imagine a Liverpool team with Aldridge, Rush, Fowler, McAllister, Hamann

Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard recently participated in an exhibition game with club legends in Australia.

The LA Galaxy midfielder was left wondering about the possibility of club legends like John Aldridge, Ian Rush, Robbie Fowler, Gary McAllister, Dietmar Hamann, Jamie Carragher, Stephane Henchoz and Bruce Grobbelaar playing together in a single team.

Gerrard told Dan Rookwood from MR PORTER in an exclusive interview: "It was surreal really.

"Growing up, you know, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 years of age, my dad constantly putting VHSs in and DVDs and saying, 'Watch these guys. Learn off them.'

"These are real Liverpool players who score all the goals and all the success, Aldridge, (John) Barnes, Fowler, Rush, you know?

"Then you've got all the group that I played with, and we won the treble with under (Gerard) Houllier. We had Houllier as the manager, so it was a surreal moment in the dressing room and around the hotel because you're sort of having thoughts like.

"Imagine we were all 25, 26 together now, and this was our team.

"Imagine how successful we'd be with a forward line of Aldridge, Rush, Fowler, McAllister, Hamann, then having Carragher at the back again with Henchoz and Brucie Grobbelaar in goal, it was a surreal moment but so enjoyable."
