The 42-year-old said: “I remember all of us stood up when we first went in there [the dressing room] and it was like: ‘What are we going to do?’ and stuff like that, with Stevie being more vocal than anyone else… it was a big shouting conversation that Stevie would have led”.

The fromer England attacker also went on to explain the role of Rafa Benitez and Jamie Carragher, before our side went out and managed to secure a memorable cup win in Wales.
