Moores yesterday sold his shares in the club to American duo George Gillett and Tom Hicks. Today Rafa Benitez paid tribute to Moores, who has been appointed Life President of the club.

"I want to say thank you to David Moores. Thank you for the support you have given me since I came to Liverpool. Thank you for bringing me to Liverpool, and thank you for everything you have done for the club," said the Reds' manager.

"It was not an easy decision for him to sell Liverpool, but he has shown he is a good person and a nice person.

"I'm happy he still has a role to play in the future and hope we can share more success together in the future."
