      An absolute dream of a footballer.

      Hard to believe we got him for £10M.

      Brilliant footballer and a complete class act. Loved the tweet he posted announcing his full retirement.

      Pretty much had the whole of Anfield purring like a cat in those first couple of weeks after he signed for the club, every time he got the ball at his feet.

      Gerrard may well have been the heart of the team during Rafa's reign, but Xabi was the brain!!

      I have just seen the goal, that he scored from roughly the half way line. What a great player we had, in him. Hope that his retirement goes well.

      Which one ;)

      That was a good goal, but the Luton one is better and funnier all in one , watching Gerrard's reaction of him virtually moaning at Xabi for having the dig at goal to big F**k off grin when it goes in.

      Remember that well, I was laughing  and my dad goes what's so funny, I had to point Stevie reaction out to him , bet the pair of them had a laugh over that, Stevie with his expression of wtf you doing Xabi class that was.

      A very smart guy in which I echo the sentiments that he could be a great manager. Get him on the coaching roster at Liverpool!

      Xabi is held in high esteem here and that speaks volumes for his character. Like others have said, I'd love to see him back at Anfield in some capacity.

      Final game of his amazing career. First Kuyt and now Xabi, along with Gerrard not too long ago...sad times, would love us to go back to having them at their peaks again.

      Just seen this on Twitter and thought it needed lashing up, Xabi cheekily nutmegging Zidane when he was back at Madrid.

      Top player, top man is Xabi. Head screwed on, the kinda guy who leads by example, wholehearted, will definitely be missed.

      Was gutted to see him leave us, but thats a whole different thread.

      All the best Xabi, you are well remembered here.

      Announced that he is going into management. Future Liverpool manager? :D

      Played under Mourinho, Guardiola, Ancelotti, Benitez and Del Bosque, but also a very intelligent person/ex footballer. I can see him forging a very successful career in management!

      I reckon Xabi will be an absolute corker of a manager. CL Winner and all. Great to see him hard at work for his qualifications.

      Look for the interview on BBC Sport website with Xabi, admits he's a red now.
