"It was absolutely fantastic to be back in a red shirt again and play at Anfield and it was a pleasure to be here," Nicol told the club's official website.
"When I got the call from Kenny asking if I would like to play I just had to get a flight over to Liverpool, and it was magic and we won the game as well which made it even better.
"I arrived in Manchester at 7.45am on the morning of the game but I was okay as I admit I had been in training for this game back in America.
"To play in front of a big crowd again at Anfield and be back amongst the boys was just something special. It was a fantastic crowd for Marina's appeal and it was just a great day. I knew Kenny would give stick as normal but it was worth getting more stick again just to come back!"
