LFC Legends v Milan Glorie: What happened to the Istanbul contingent?

The 'Miracle of Istanbul' Champions League final in 2005 is regarded as one of the greatest ever played - and 17 of stars who contested that historic match will be reunited at Anfield on Saturday.

It was 14 years ago that Rafa Benitez's Reds fought back from a three-goal half-time deficit against AC Milan to win a dramatic penalty shootout.

Man of the Match that night, Steven Gerrard, will once again pull on a Liverpool shirt in this weekend, with fellow Istanbul heroes Jerzy Dudek, Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia, Djimi Traore, Luis Garcia, Vladimir Smicer and Djibril Cisse joining their former skipper and other club greats in the LFC Legends squad for an exciting charity game.
