Jose Enrique: I feel so grateful to play again

The former Reds full-back has recovered from a rare form of brain tumour which required the Spaniard to undergo life-saving surgery last summer.

Enrique featured for the full 90 minutes at Ibrox as Liverpool FC Legends claimed a 3-2 win through goals from Luis Garcia, Patrik Berger and Emile Heskey.

Post-match, he explained the gratitude he feels just to be able to participate after the challenges he has had to overcome.

“A year ago I had a tumour in my head, I thought I was dying, and now I’m playing here in front of 30,000 people.
