Steven Gerrard

Skillful and aggressive, Gerrard has a knack of scoring spectacular goals for club and country. Having inspired Liverpool to their two greatest triumphs of recent years - winning the European Cup in Istanbul in 2005 and the FA Cup in 2006 - he was voted PFA Player of the Year in 2006 and awarded the MBE for services to British sport in the 2007 New Year's Honours list. A boyhood Liverpool fan, Gerrard is living the dream of playing for his team, having made his debut for the Reds in November 1998 at the age of 18. Gerrard remains one of the most exciting talents in the English game and is now widely viewed as one of the world's best mid fielders. This is his story.
