TNS striker Marc Lloyd-Williams has revealed he wants Steven Gerrard's shirt at the final whistle following tonight's Champions League first round qualifier at Liverpool.
The 32-year old former Stockport, Halifax and York player knows tonight is the closest he'll ever get to the England superstar with this possibly the last time he will get to play in such company.
While Gerrard has just agreed a new four-year deal at Anfield worth around £25m, Lloyd-Williams picks up around £600 a week at TNS in the Welsh Premier League.
Lloyd-Williams said, "I want Steven's shirt. I'll be making a bee-line for him at the final whistle.
"At my age this is probably one of my last chances to play in front of 45,000 crowd. It's so different from the few hundred we normally get watching us.
"I've supported the Reds since I was a boy. At 16, I used to travel across to Anfield by coach from Llanberis.
"I stood in the Kop and watched great players like Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Peter Beardsley and John Barnes.
"But I never did get one autograph, you just couldn't get anywhere near the players. The only thing I got was a stack of match programmes and they are still piled up accumulating dust in my loft at home."
Lloyd-Williams hit an amazing 42 goals last season - more than any other striker in Europe as he took his WPL tally to 176 - and came close to beating Thierry Henry and Diego Forlan to the Golden Boot award, but due to Wales' co-efficient ranking finished below them.
He said, "I suppose my little bit of comfort was being slightly below Thierry Henry and Diego Forlan in the list.
"They only beat me because of UEFA's points for goals allocation is lower for our section."
Lloyd-Williams may have a great job as a footballer with the Welsh champions but reveals that as a family man he still has all the worries that us normal folk have.
He explained: "I'm quite happy with my situation. I tell myself that money, flash motors and huge houses are not everything, even though I know I'll still be worrying about my retirement long after I finish playing.
"I just managed to grab a week's holiday in Spain with my wife and our two kids. It's probably a big difference to the exotic locations where some of the Liverpool players went.
"At Anfield our lads will play against the likes of Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher and John Arne Riise. These people are on a different planet to us.
"All of these players are where I once dreamt to be. At clubs like Stockport you'd wait for the cups to come around because it was the chance to play at a big arena and catch somebody's eye.
"I once played for York in the League Cup at Manchester City's old Maine Road ground and about 35,000 turned up.
"Four years earlier when I was at Stockport we met Aston Villa and 30,000 rolled in.
"But the real opportunity never arrived for me. I'm philosophical about that now because it's often just down to a change of manager and a fresh opinion."
Lloyd-Williams, believes the Welsh champions must make the most of their dream Champions League draw.
"Before we had the draw I felt our best chance of meeting a Premiership side was in the third qualifying round - maybe at Everton or Manchester United," he said.
"You'd hope for a distraction and shocks have happened in the past. Exeter held Manchester United in the FA Cup at Old Trafford last January and look what Wrexham did to Arsenal in the early 1990s.
"Realistically, though, you'd feel that Liverpool's enormous gulf in class would be too much for us over two legs. What we don't want is a hiding."
Lloyd-Williams is planning to get his hands on at the final whistle, but with Benitez likely to bring Gerrard off early, he may have a battle on his hands getting it, it is also understood that John Leah - TNS' captain - is after his counterpart's shirt as well.
