Jose Enrique admits he has a special connection to former club Liverpool.
The fullback spent five years on Merseyside after initially making an impression in the Premier League with Newcastle United.
"I have a special way with Liverpool because of the way the club treated me, I was speaking English really well when I was there, my time there was unbelievable," he told BBC 5Live.
"I met my partner there, I made so many friends there, so many people in the club I can call friends and they still text me. It was the best time in my life football-wise.
"It was really nice. We nearly won the league, it was the year I got injured as well so I wasn't happy about that because maybe I could have helped the team, but Jon Flanagan looked like Roberto Carlos that season! I don't think they missed me too much that season, he was on fire.
"I have a special feeling for Liverpool, they are a top club. The fans are incredible, it's unbelievable. What they are doing isn't just because of the club and the players, it's because everything is good, hard work around there."
