Steven Gerrard joke made ahead of Liverpool v Chelsea Legends clash
Crouch took to X to make a joke about his former teammate Steven Gerrard.
The image showcased two Liverpool jerseys – Gerrard’s No. 8 and Crouch’s No. 15 – hanging beside the iconic “You’ll Never Walk Alone” motto, a phrase deeply embedded in the club’s identity since the 1960s, as noted in historical accounts of Liverpool’s traditions.
Crouch wrote: “Gonna have to carry him again aren’t I”,” playfully jabbed at his former teammate , referencing their time together at Anfield from 2005 to 2008, where Crouch scored 42 goals in 134 appearances and won the FA Cup in 2006.
Crouch marked his return to L4 in style, breaking the deadlock in the 55th minute with a looping header and delighting the Kop with his iconic robot celebration, before swiftly adding a skilful second goal to secure the victory.
Both teams nearly scored in the latter stages of the contest but Crouch’s moments were enough to make it a happy afternoon for the Reds fans in attendance at Anfield.

The setting, Anfield’s dressing room, and the timing, which was a Saturday and a charity match or legends event, were common occurrences for Liverpool to honour their storied past.
