Rickie Lambert thanks "amazing" Southampton fans

Rickie Lambert pays tribute to Southampton's fans following his move to Liverpool.

Rickie Lambert has paid an emotional tribute to Southampton's fans following his move to Liverpool.

The 32-year-old striker enjoyed a successful five-year spell with the Saints before joining the Merseysiders on Monday.

Lambert, who scored 117 goals in 235 games for Southampton, has now thanked the club's fans for their "amazing support".

"When I grew up there was only one club I loved. I can honestly say now I have two clubs which will always be in my heart and that is thanks to the Saints fans," he told Southampton's official website.

"The people who support this club have been nothing short of amazing towards me and, when I look back in years to come, it will be the relationship I had with the fans here which will stand out the most."

Lambert arrived at Southampton from Bristol Rovers back in 2009.
