Liverpool ‘legend’ Charlie Adam ‘cleaned out’ as he’s mistaken for Corrie icon

Liverpool fans had mixed opinions over the performance of Charlie Adam in their legends clash against Celtic – but plenty chuckled at his clash with Ross Wallace.

The 37-year-old, who called time on his career last year having returned to Scotland with Dundee, lined up for Liverpool at Anfield – despite only playing 37 games for the club.

One fan even compared him to a former Coronation Street actor, while others laughed as he was sent flying to the turf by a bruising challenge.

One supporter said of the incident: "Ross Wallace just clattered Charlie Adam in this legends game." Another posted: "Walking around looking like Fred Elliot from 2002 Coronation Street."

A second said of the performance : "Current Charlie Adam is better than most of our midfielders."

A third continued: "Gerrard and Charlie Adam winding up the Celtic supporters."

Liverpool fans, who would you love to see playing in a legends side? Tell is in the comments section below.

Liverpool took home a 2-0 victory thanks to Steven Gerrard's penalty and a Mark Gonzalez solo effort, with the former skipper delighted to be back in Liverpool red – making sure as an ex-Rangers boss that he also taunted furious Celtic fans after his goal.

Mentioning his young son, Gerrard said: "Listen, it feels good when I score in the back garden against Lio!

"If you love football, if you love the game, if you love this club, I'll never get tired of that.

"There was a bit of pressure on me! I took my son to football this morning and he scored a couple, so he had said to me, 'You best score today or you're going to have to buy me something.'

"At least I'll save a few quid by getting on the scoresheet!"

Sir Kenny Dalglish took charge of the side, with proceeds going towards the LFC Foundation and and its partner charities.
