Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt is relishing a return to the club where he made his professional debut but there will be no sentimentality when he runs out at Utrecht's Stadion Galgenwaard.[LNB] The 30-year-old had a five-year spell at Utrecht between 1998 and 2003 before he left for Feyenoord and ultimately Anfield.[LNB]He admits this is a trip he has been looking forward to since the draw pitted the two teams together in Group K.[LNB] 'It means a lot to go back. They are the club that gave me the opportunity to play professional football,' said the Holland international.[LNB]'I had five years there and really enjoyed it. I was really happy for the opportunity they gave me.[LNB]'I don't know a lot of players there now but I know a few guys who work at the club so it'll be nice to go back and see them.'[LNB]Unlike some players returning to their former clubs, Kuyt has no plans to mute his joy should he score.[LNB]'I think if you score a goal you always have to celebrate,' he added.[LNB]'That is not disrespectful to the team you played for before. When I scored for Feyenoord here I celebrated.'
