Lambert buzzing after making Liverpool debut

Rickie Lambert is buzzing after making his Liverpool debut.

Lambert is still on a high after making his first Liverpool appearance in the 2-1 win over Preston at Deepdale on Saturday when he played 50 minutes of the friendly and wore the club's famous No 9 shirt.

The England international said: "I was nervous before kick-off and I probably haven't been that nervous for a while. I've played in a lot of big games in my career and that's the most nervous I've been before a game for a while.

"I was a little bit disappointed not to get a goal but I thoroughly enjoyed it; it was a special moment for me and one I'll remember."
