The England striker has completed his £4.5million move from Southampton to Liverpool to fulfil a boyhood dream he feared had passed him by.
Rejected by the Reds as a 15-year-old, Lambert returns to Anfield as a full England international and a proven top-flight goalscorer.
And he is determined to ride on the emotion of his homecoming and score the goals in front of the Kop that could help Brendan Rodgers' men go one step further than this season's near-miss in the title race.
"I have always dreamed of playing for Liverpool, but I did kind of think the chance of playing for them had gone," said Lambert, born in Kirkby and a boyhood Liverpool fan.
"I've loved this club all my life. I left here 17 years ago and I haven't stopped loving it since. To be back here now having just signed at the age of 32 is hard to describe.
"All my dreams, wishes and what I wanted at the start have come true in the end. It's been a long time, but it's finally come true.
"I've been trying to keep it as quiet as possible and tell only my close family. My mum and dad shed a few tears when I told them, especially my mum.
"It's not just playing for Liverpool, it's the fact I'm coming home. I've been away for eight years.
"My mum and dad have loved watching me play football all of my life, even when I was a kid, so it's been hard for them not being able to come and watch.
"The fact they've got their son home, and the fact he's playing for Liverpool, is unbelievable.
"It's going to be hard to keep my emotions in check the first time I pull on the Liverpool shirt. It's going to be very emotional, not just for me but also for my family.
"But these kind of moments drive me on. When I get them, I seem to produce my best performances and I'm able to use it to my advantage - any emotions, any nerves and any excitement I have. I am hoping that will continue in my Liverpool career." New signing waffle. They all say that ^^^!

That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Can't believe a man of Joe Cole's limited ability can become a millionaire out of playing football.
