It might not be the playing return that many had hoped for, but the sight of Steven Gerrard taking part in a training session was enough to delight Liverpool fans.
Back on Merseyside after his season with LA Galaxy ended in disappointment, Gerrard was in attendance at his former club’s Melwood training facilities.
And Liverpool fans were clearly excited by the return of their hero…

Well, almost everyone…
Gerrard training with the team is nonsense. That whole farewell thing lasted all of 6 months. It's a joke.

And coincidentally, his return fell on the 17th anniversary of his Liverpool debut…
"Many of the fans were asking who he was." 17 years on from Steven Gerrard's #LFC debut, they certainly know now…https://t.co/DQTT6YReSy
