Liverpool legend James Milner is set to make a special return to Anfield after being confirmed as the first player to join the Reds’ squad for the upcoming LFC Legends charity match against Inter Legends.
The former Liverpool vice-captain will pull on the famous red shirt once again when the two legendary sides meet on Saturday, March 27, 2027, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm GMT.
The fixture, organised in support of the LFC Foundation, promises to be a special occasion for Liverpool supporters, with Milner becoming the first confirmed name for the home side.
Milner’s Outstanding Liverpool Legacy
Milner enjoyed eight successful seasons at Anfield after joining Liverpool on a free transfer from Manchester City in 2015.
During his time with the Reds, the experienced midfielder made 332 appearances, establishing himself as one of the most dependable and versatile players in the squad.
He played a significant role in Liverpool’s successful era under Jürgen Klopp, helping the club win six major trophies, including the UEFA Champions League in 2019 and the Premier League title in 2020.
His consistency, leadership, professionalism and ability to perform in several positions made him an important figure both on and off the pitch.
Having recently brought his remarkable 24-year Premier League career to an end, Milner is now looking forward to reconnecting with Liverpool supporters at Anfield.
Milner Delighted to Wear the Red Shirt Again
Speaking about his return, Milner expressed his excitement at getting another opportunity to play at Anfield.
He explained that returning to the famous stadium and performing in front of Liverpool supporters would be a special experience.
The former Reds midfielder also highlighted the importance of the charity fixture, stressing that the occasion goes beyond football and provides an opportunity to give something back to supporters while helping the LFC Foundation continue its community work.
James Milner Foundation Continues to Support Children
Milner’s connection with Liverpool’s charitable activities extends beyond his playing career.
The James Milner Foundation has supported the LFC Foundation since 2016, helping more than 2,000 children access safe and enjoyable activities during school holidays.
Its recent contribution supported four weeks of free football and multi-sport camps in Anfield and Toxteth, benefiting more than 800 children.
The upcoming Legends match, presented by official training partner AXA and held in association with Forever Reds, will once again raise funds for the Foundation’s community programmes.
Liverpool’s charity Legends fixtures have already raised more than £10 million across the club’s 10 previous matches.
The LFC Foundation also supported 239,421 people last season, generating an estimated £96 million in social value.
