A natural midfield force of nature, Liverpool born and bred legend Steven Gerrard is the face of a generation. With over 100 caps for England and a lifelong association with Liverpool FC, Gerrard played a key role as the Reds returned to relevance in the 2000s after a dark era of the 1990s.
Across his career, he played over 500 league games for Liverpool, scored well over 100 goals, and became a legend as he played a crucial role in the club capturing the 2005 UEFA Champions League and 2006 FA Cup trophies. Though he never won a league title, Gerrard is undoubtedly a legend at Anfield.
What made Steven Gerrard so special?
He combined the finishing of a second striker with box-to-box energy, a world-class passing range, and a stunning desire to get forward and back to help his team out. A player with limitless energy, incredible vision, and some of the best shooting seen from a midfielder, he provided his team with a spark that was almost impossible to lose.
As one of the best midfielders of his era, Gerrard was a force of nature with a habit of scoring clutch goals and making the most of any opportunity that came his way.
What does Steven Gerrard do now?
Gerrard is now a manager in his own right, having coached the Liverpool youth teams before making a move to Scotland. Managing Glasgow Rangers, the Englishman has helped his new team stop rivals Celtic from winning ten titles in a row, and looks set to have a highly successful managerial career.
He carries that same winning zeal and never-say-die attitude into coaching, making him a highly valuable asset for any team. For now, though, Gerrard looks set to be part of the English coaching scene for a long time to come.
