Anfield Online verdict:
Steven Gerrard burst on to the Liverpool scene back in 1998 after
graduating from a good old fashioned Liverpool FC YTS. His phenomal
rise effectively ended Jamie Redknapp's Liverpool career, and he
has shown prominence not only in the Premiership as one of the best
midfielders, but also at international level.
Steven was unfortunate to miss out on the 2002 World Cup due to
an injury, and indeed his early Liverpool career has been plagued
with some injury concerns, mainly because his body appeared not
to want to stop growing.
However Gerard Houllier's last season, 2003/04 and Steven Gerrard
was Liverpool FC. Almost single-handedly steering them in to 4th
and the Champions League spot.
He is set to be a key man in Euro 2004.
Liverpool's club captain, and his determination and commitment
make him a real fans' favourite. We salute you Sir Steven!
