Jurgen Klopp changes Liverpool Anfield rule - but only two players follow it

Jordan Henderson and Gini Wijnaldum were the only two Liverpool stars to touch the famous “This Is Anfield” sign before the Reds’ 4-1 victory over Norwich. Klopp had banned his players from reaching up and caressing the iconic sign, as was a tradition on Merseyside until they had won a trophy at the club. The German said in 2016: "I've told my players not to touch the 'This Is Anfield' sign until they win something. It's a sign of respect. I touched it when I was the manager of Borussia Dortmund but we lost 4-0." Wiljaldum wrote on Instagram: “Boss wouldn’t let us tough the sign until we won a trophy… now is the time. #ThisIsAnfield”
