Liverpool's depressing 2-1 defeat to AC Milan in the 2007 Champions League final was hard to take

Edwin van der Sar's testimonial evening at the Amsterdam Arena last night was a three-pronged
affair, with the festivities opening with a match between Ajax U13s and Manchester United U13s,

Liverpool will be hoping there are no beach balls on the pitch when they visit the Stadium of Light
on Sunday.
The last time they faced the Black Cats at the Wearside venue, the now departed Darren Bent's
winning goal famously deflected into the net off such a piece of beach equipment.
But even if there aren't any beach balls, boss Kenny Dalglish knows there is a potential banana
