Steven Gerrard Gallery
Our Steven Gerrard gallery is part of our Fields Of Anfield Road online store and Liverpool F.C. information site.
Steven George Gerrard MBE (born 30 May 1980, Whiston, Merseyside) is the captain of Liverpool, where he wears the number 8 shirt and as many observers say, his heart on his sleeve as well. To be labelled an influential and versatile midfielder is somewhat of an understatement. He is well known for his long-range shots, lung bursting runs, ferocious tackling and defence-splitting passes.
Quite simply he is the complete midfielder. Generally he is employed in the "box-to-box" midfield role, although he has often been used as a right-sided midfielder, and occasionally, like last season to great effect, as a second striker. His link up with Fernando Torres was a great success and it looks as though this partnership is likely to flourish even further and just get better and better.
During his career he has won the PFA Young Player of the Year, PFA Player of the Year, European Midfielder of the year, Premier League Most Valuable Player (twice), and UEFA Most Valuable Player. He has also been awarded the MBE for his outstanding contributions in both the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final and the 2006 FA Cup Final in which he greatly inspired his team's comeback. He has been nominated three times for the FIFA Player of the Year, in 2005, 2006 and 2007. On 5 February 2008, it was announced he had been voted by fans as the Nationwide England Player of the Year for 2007.
