Nicolas Anelka: Everything was perfect when I arrived in Liverpool. The city, the spirit. The fans were really happy with me, and I was really happy to be there. English football made me feel alive. It was the perfect club for me. It could have helped me bounce back"

Nicolas Anelka: "But at the end of the season nothing happened. No opportunity to sign with Liverpool
That open door was for Liverpool. I said it time and time again that I wanted to sign with Liverpool. I waited but nothing happened. Fans think I didn't want to stay, but no"

Nicolas Anelka: "That wasn't the case. They need to know I really did. For me it was quite a tragic episode. It's a club where I think I could have achieved many things - great things

Nico's friend: When he got to LFC he told me "Shit, I've found what I've been looking for"
