The Spaniard may have swapped Merseyside for Madrid but he remains a big fan of his old club, insisting that his passion for all-things LFC will never fade.

"I am still a Liverpool fan and will be forever, absolutely," Alonso told The Times Online.

"The things that I have lived and the experiences I had during those five years are deep in my heart and the passion and respect I had for the club and its supporters are still the same.

"Hopefully I can transmit to my son what Liverpool Football Club means and how special it is, as he was born in the city and he will visit it in the future."

Much has changed since Alonso patrolled the Liverpool midfield with so much distinction.

The Reds have switched manager twice and are now embarking upon a new era with FSG.

Under the leadership of Kenny Dalglish they have shown a marked improvement in form and Alonso is confident they are now on the up.

He said: "I think they have regained their confidence and despite being knocked out of the Europa League (by Braga) their form in the Premier League has improved a lot.

"I think they can rebuild a competitive team, especially as it looks like there is now stability at the club again. Now they have to think about the sport side and create a plan for the following years."
