The former Liverpool player Martin Kelly has called time on his footballing career following multiple injuries.The 35-year-old started his career at the club when he joined the academy at the age of eight, and he made 62 appearances for the Merseyside giants as a senior player.Kelly played during the years under Roy Hodgson, where he racked up most of his appearances for the squad.He played with the likes of Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard during his career, which may not have been overly successful, but he still made an impact in cup games.However, his career was derailed because of multiple injuries, including to his ACL, with a final knee injury in his most recent loan to Wigan Athletic, all but ending his time on the pitch.Photo by Michael Regan/Getty ImagesMartin Kelly says Luis Suarez used to ‘square up’ to him in reserve training sessionsThe player, though, has looked fondly back on his time coming up through the ranks as a young right-back and finding his way into the first team.What he remembers most about his time is being around the acclaimed striker Suarez, who was one of the best to grace the forward line in his short time with Liverpool.READ MORE: Jamie Carragher says Liverpool had two players who were even better than Luis Suarez technicallyThe Uruguayan scored 83 goals in just three years at Anfield, with his time at the club remembered not only for his fantastic finishing but for his mad antics.It seems he did not switch that off even when he was training, and Kelly revealed that he was even more intense behind closed doors.In an interview with The Athletic, the Whiston-born footballer revealed that despite playing a Premier League game on a Saturday, the star would join the unused substitutes and reserves on the training ground the next day.Kelly shared: “He did something I’d never seen before,” Kelly recalled. “He would play 90 minutes on a Saturday and then train on a Sunday with us lads who hadn’t featured — he didn’t want to just do recovery.“At one point, we squared up to each other and he was laughing at me, saying: ‘Kelly, you’re crazy.’ I said: ‘Just stop kicking me.

Why are you kicking me?’ He was always so game — that will to win.”Martin Kelly scored only one goal for LiverpoolWhile he has decided to hang up the boots, he will be featuring in the Liverpool vs Chelsea Charity match at Stamford Bridge today.It will be bittersweet for the player whose only professional goal for the Reds came against Chelsea in a 2011 League Cup quarter-final win.Away at Stamford Bridge and already 1-0 up, a free-kick sent in by Craig Bellamy found the jumping head of Kelly, who drove the ball down, which then bounced into the back of the net.Hopefully, he can replicate that when he returns to Stamford Bridge in the charity game today.
