Steven Gerrard admits Crystal Palace SPOILED his Liverpool leaving party
STEVEN GERRARD has admitted Crystal Palace spoiled his Liverpool leaving party this afternoon.
Crystal Palace didn't read the script for Steven Gerrard's farewell
Palace failed to read the script and upset the Reds 3-1 in Gerrard's final appearance at Anfield before he moves to the MLS at the end of the season.
But despite the result Gerrard says he won't ever forget the reception he received.
And he hopes that, after a break, he will be welcomed back to the club at some point in the future.
He told the BBC: "It was very emotional.
"I'm slightly disappointed with the team performance but credit to Crystal Palace. They spoilt the party.
"This is a day I will never ever forget. I've been in this city for a long time and it's time for a little break.
"Hopefully I will be welcomed back one day."
