Steven Gerrard

Born and raised in Liverpool, Steven Gerrard is the undisputed fans' favourite at Anfield and the midfielder's dynamic, action-packed performances for the Reds over almost a decade have seen him forge a reputation as one of world football's greatest players.

He made his senior debut for Liverpool from the bench in March 1998 in a Premiership clash against Blackburn Rovers and he quickly established himself as an indispensable member of the side under the management of Gerard Houllier.
