Florent Sinama-Pongolle has admitted he has often dreamt about coming back to Anfield and scoring a goal - and had a gut-feeling that he’d make sure a dream a reality when playing for Liverpool Legends against Manchester United on Saturday.
The Frenchman came off the bench to score a late winner for the Reds’ veterans in front of the Kop to ensure they clinched a ‘Legends of the North’ double over their fierce rivals, having also won 3-1 at Old Trafford back in May.
Signed from Le Havre by Gerard Houllier in 2001, the striker belatedly joined Liverpool two years later after initially remaining with the French club on loan, and would score nine goals from 65 appearances for the club, with his most memorable strike coming when he scored off the bench in the Reds’ famous 3-1 victory over Olympiacos in the Champions League.
