Astanley 11,568 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 So he,s off at the end of the season and I wish him all the luck in the world , it,s been a privilege watching him over the years ,at times he was the closest I have seen to a 1 man team ,he improved every player he played with (Owen and Torres have never been the same without him )and he won trophies that just wouldn't have been won without him in the team .He was in my opinion the best type of captain , one who leads by example ,and I hope one day he will be back as manager , all the best Stevie . 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bunnyblatter 1,012 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Couldn't agree more. The goal against Olympiacos was truly stunning and Anfield rocked to the foundations when that went in A true legend. On a par with the great Dalglish. The 2 best players ever in a red shirt IMO He will be sadly missed and I think i speak for football fans in general (united fans are the exception) lol that when I say he is the one player I wish could of lifted the premier league trophy :-( 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pesky1972 5,292 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 (edited) Probably the most 'complete' football player I've ever seen 'in the flesh', and for me easily the best English player of his generation. There'll always be a 'what if' aspect to his legacy because of his lack of medals...., medals he probably would have won if he'd gone to Chelsea or Real Madrid etc. but that for me also makes his loyalty to his club & his city even more special. In a game that's too full of the pound chasing mercenary bench warmers and badge kissers, Gerrard's loyalty stands out and I respect that. Edited to add, he couldnae lace King Kenny's boots Edited January 3, 2015 by pesky1972 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kenny was special but Stevie was equally as good in my eyes the way he could grab a game by the scruff of the neck and totally change it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogmad riley 1,344 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Legend of a player, will be missed in the premiership. Won plenty of trophies and had a good career, just fell short last season. A top top player who stayed faithful to his boyhood club 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philstory 83 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Gutted he's leaving!! Fair play to him he doesn't want to be on bench at times. As long as he signs for a mls team and goes. Not like lampard he could be difference for man city at this rate!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,376 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 been a very good loyal servant to lfc i always thought he would go on the coaching staff but he do one day i think not a lfc fan but always admired him has a player and when the chips were down he always seemed to find that extra gear to lift the team and that made him a good captain i wish him well always seemed a decent bloke of the pitch to im sure he will get a great send of in his last game 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,159 Posted January 3, 2015 Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 Even as a UTD fan, I know class when I see it and he was class.. The b*****d even made me sit up in bed and cheer him on in the 2004 champions league final, that was an awesome display amongst many others for the club. It's a shame when a career like his comes to an end, I'm sure he'll still do ok for a year of 2 in the states but his legs aren't there for the prem week in week out, good luck to the man.

Astanley 11,568 Posted January 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2015 He was ok i suppose. It must be some consolation to you that it took his best ever goal to deprive your lot of your just deserts . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If i was a fan of any other team id be saying he was the best English midfielder of his generation........but its hard to heap praise on someone that broke your heart ! 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
