The 2005 victory over Milan will forever be remembered by Liverpool supporters, but it's a bitter memory for one player: Stephen Warnock.

Warnock had been a regular part of Rafael Benítez's squad during that season, having made 19 appearances in the Premier League and four in the European tournament.

Pako Ayestaran, the assistant manager, later informed him that including him in the squad had been a mistake and he wouldn't actually be involved.

He recalled his experience on the Undr The Cosh podcast.

"It was hard for me because I'm a Liverpool fan, I grew up on the Kop and everything," Warnock revealed.

The lads literally landed at Liverpool Airport, got ferried to the buses and then just started the parade.

He criticized Benitez's "horrendous" man management and branded him a "coward" for not having the courtesy to call him personally with the news.

To add insult to injury, Warnock missed out on both the celebrations and a hefty $250k (£200k/€232k) bonus that went to those in the matchday squad.

If Warnock was indeed included on an original squad list, that's hard to justify.

Fortunately, the man-management at Liverpool has come on leaps and bounds.
