Steven Gerrard a Liverpool legend , undoubtedly
he will be cast among the many greats that have played for the Reds. One of the
greatest players of the past decade. Many people when they think of Liverpool
in the past decade they think of Steven Gerrard. His service and dedication to
this great club has been outstanding, not just only to Liverpool but also to
the Premier League. Definitely will go down in the list as one of the Premier League greats to have played in this League.
He till now has only played for the club he
dreamt off for playing as kid and he realized his dream in 1998 for Liverpool
and since 2000 he has been a regular player for the club. With currently over 499 appearances for the Anfield
side, I’m sure he would add a few more caps before he leaves to join the MLS
outfit LA Galaxy next season.
Steven Gerrard earlier this year announced that
he would end his long standing relationship with Liverpool and Join MLS side LA
Galaxy. I’m sure it wouldn’t have been an easy decision for the Liverpool
skipper. He would have pondered that decision for a long time before coming out
with that conclusion. A Lot of Liverpool supporters would have been heart
broken by this decision made by the Liverpool captain.
The former England captain has had a long and illustrious
career with Liverpool. He is an extension of Liverpool, you know what I mean. He
has won many trophies for the English side including the Famous Champions League win in 2005 which was played at Istanbul, Turkey. Arguably one of the
greatest matches in Champion’s League history. With Liverpool down by three
goals in the first half only for the skipper to inspire his team mates and put
a Man of the Match performance to come from behind and win the trophy. I’m sure Gerrard will always cherish that moment in his memory. But he would be
disappointed in not winning the most important trophy in his long outstanding
career in the English League that is the English Premier League. The only thing
remaining in his locker domestically.
Regardless of Steven Gerrard winning the English League, he is one the greatest players to have played for in this
league and also this Beautiful sport. He will definitely be missed next season.
His powerful right foot blasting the ball into the net from outside the box
those wild goals by Stevie G will be missed by the Liverpool supporters. He is
a true leader, his presence in the field alone can inspire his team mates and
the supporters. The MLS is lucky to have Steven Gerrard and surely he will be
well appreciated there. Steven Gerrard name will always be sung by the
Liverpool supporters. The KOP will always hold a special place for a true
Liverpool icon like Stevie G.
