Former Liverpool star makes CONTROVERSIAL Anfield comeback | OneFootball

It's common for fans to boo players who are returning to the club they once played for.

Abusing opposition players is a crucial part of the match-going experience, and there are no better targets than those 'traitors' who have decided to play elsewhere.

Think about the reception Raheem Sterling gets every time he comes back to Anfield after his controversial move to Manchester City, or the boos directed at Harvey Elliott when he plays away at Fulham.

Most of the time, it's somewhat warranted – a team's most important player or most exciting young talent decides he's had enough and moves for money or to a bigger club.

Sometimes it's a bit less heated, as seen in the half-hearted boos Alexis Mac Allister got away to Brighton last season after his transfer.

And then there's the rare situations, where a former legend returns to the club after his retirement and gets booed off the pitch.

That's what happened to former Liverpool goalkeeper David James during Liverpool's 2-1 win over Chelsea at the weekend – one that maintained Slot's incredible record as boss.
