Liverpool is a club known for its tradition - and the 'This is Anfield' sign is amongst its most iconic.
Reds players have been known to touch the famous sign whilst making their way out of the tunnel and onto the hallowed turf.
But it is not a tradition just reserved for those who play for Liverpool.
Speaking ahead of their FA Cup clash with Norwich City, Arsenal legend Ian Wright admitted he used to make sure to touch the sign when he visited as an opponent.
Predictably, however, that view was not reciprocated by Manchester United icon Roy Keane - who branded his fellow pundit "childish" as the pair clashed over the tradition.

Asked by host Mark Pougatch if he touched the sign, Wright replied: "Course, but I didn't touch it when we were going out with the guys.
"When you went out for the warm-up, to look around, you touched it because it is iconic. I had to touch it, I'm not going to lie.
"I didn't want them to see me because I didn't want them to feel it was disrespectful, because it's not that it was disrespectful, I just wanted to touch that sign."
Asked the same question, Keane was predictably blunt and dead-pan in his response.
“Of course not," Keane replied. "No point.
"I think it's OK, it's a tradition for the English players, but not for the opposition players.
"I’m not sure why you touched it, Wrighty. It’s silly, it's very childish."
"It's an unbelievable thing to do," Wright interjected.
"It's childish," Keane insisted. "What benefit did you get out of it?”
"I touched it," Wright responded. "I'm one of the people that has touched that, because I bet there's a lot of fans that haven't touched that."
Jurgen Klopp has made it a rule in recent years that his players are not allowed to touch the sign until they have won something at the club.
But that rule is at rapid risk of dying out, with another six players winning their first silverware with the club in the Carabao Cup at the weekend.
"I've told my players not to touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign until they win something," Klopp declared six years ago.
"It's a sign of respect. I touched it when I was manager of Borussia Dortmund but we lost 4-0 [a pre-season]."
Midfielder Thiago was one man who followed his boss' orders immediately, explaining upon his arrival from Bayern Munich in the summer of 2020: "To touch that symbol we have to deserve it to win as many trophies as we can.
"That is why today I will respect that tradition."
