Sami Hyypia admitted he found it hard to hold back the tears during his emotional Anfield farewell on Sunday and thanked the Kop for their magnificent support.

The big number four was given the captain's armband when he came on for skipper Steven Gerrard in the 84th minute and the standing ovation he got told its own story.

Before kick-off a mosaic in the Kop paid tribute to a man who has given 10 years wonderful service to Liverpool Football Club.

Hyypia admitted it was a moment that moved him.

"It was fantastic and I would like to thank the fans for that and for their wonderful support to me during the 10 years I have been at the club," Hyypia told Liverpoolfc.tv.

"There were a few tears at the end and I was surprised I managed to keep them inside until then. That was a sad moment for me.

"I've always had a really good relationship with the fans. They have treated me as their own from day one and that will never change. I will miss them.

"Goodbyes are never easy but life goes on. Now I'm looking forward to a new challenge in Germany but I'm leaving Liverpool behind with great memories but sad feelings."

Hyypia almost made it the perfect send-off when he saw a stoppage time header saved by a combination of Gomes and Modric.

"It would have been the icing on the cake but it wasn't to be," he added. "It was a good ball in from Fabio but Tottenham scrambled the ball away."

The big Finn has also backed Rafael Benitez's side to sustain another title challenge next season and sees no reason why the Reds can’t win number 19.

"We just fell a little bit short this season but I'm sure next season the team will take a lot of confidence into it from the experience we had this year," he said.

"We had a lot of draws this season and United turned them into 1-0 wins, but hopefully it will be different next season."

官網弄的海隊特集：ONE LFC LEGEND: 17 STORIES
看得我心都酸了。（雖然我也沒全看完）

我愛上 LFC 的時候，海隊已經退下了隊長之位。
但在後防的位置上，他永遠是一支定海神針，穩定、失誤少
雖然他年紀漸老，體力也許大不如前
但在後防領導的角色上、豐厚的經驗儲備
十年了，他的功勞不是一下子可以說完。

我對這位前輩也許不夠熟悉
可是我還記得每次看到他在場上努力，多麼的帥啊（本人是超級叔控…）
還記得 06/07 賽季末最後一場聯賽，我們輸了給樸茅，但海叔有進球。
那一場，我深深被他吸引住了，嚷著要收他當 husband 。
一路下來，我愈來愈喜歡他了，可是說來慚愧
我沒有盡到一個好夫人的責任……
關於他的了解，我還是太少太少了。

ANYWAY ，作為一個 KOP ，向這位十年老臣表示敬意是一定的。
人生能有多少個十年？
十年，都留效同一間球會。
在人來人去如花開花落的這個世代，
這是一項多麼了不起的記錄！
I'm so proud of Hyypia & our club!!

昨天那場比賽基本上沒看，連線卡到不行（灰）
今天想去找種，都沒有我隊的， hum 街都是獌 vs. 候城我日 =皿=
不過光看圖都夠我感慨的了。
