Livers, who also netted the final Football League goal of the last millennium, scored the only goal of the game as Millwall beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday when he netted from a freekick that seemed to take everybody by surprise.
"To be honest I didn't know I was going to take the free-kick until Kevin Muscat suggested I should do so," the midfielder told the club's official site. "It was on the right of the box and was ideal for a left footer so I just walked up and struck it. I used to practice free-kicks on a Friday when Steve Gritt was here, but I haven't done so recently. It was a great feeling to see it go in."
Dennis Wise added: "I didn't really know he could do that either. He'll be on free-kicks a bit more from now on!"
Coca-Cola have pledged to make an additional £1m in sponsorship revenue available to be shared by the 72 Football League clubs if they score a combined total of 4,500 goals by the end of the season. This money will then be directed towards the development of an up and coming young player.
