And to my family and those closest to me... without you, I am not who I am today. With love, Divock Origi."Origi was adored by supporters on the Kop, and speaking following his final appearance at Anfield, he confessed that his spell at Liverpool had been an 'honour'.He said: "Honestly, I feel honoured.

Before I came here, they told me it's a special club and once you sign here, you experience it. It's been an honour."When quizzed about achieving legendary status at Liverpool, he added: "Even that is something you take with you and you're grateful for."I know that I'll come and watch games, for sure.

For sure, I'll be back."Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp hailed Origi as a 'Liverpool legend' in the build-up to his farewell appearance at Anfield, remarking: "We can only do that with the few we know it definitely."I think that is only Div. He is, and will be for me, forever a Liverpool legend [and] one of the most important players I ever had."That sounds completely strange with the amount of games he had, but it is, and was, a pure joy to work together with him."So, it's not over yet just because it's now the last Premier League game and, yes, he deserves all good thoughts we can generate somehow for his future and wherever he will go he will be successful, 100%."[He's] an outstanding player, [an] outstanding boy.
