Firstly, there are countless quotes about Gerrard and his importance to Liverpool and turning up when it matters most. Here are some quotes about him...
“There was a point when Gerrard was the best midfield player in the world. It is unusual to get complete midfield players who can do everything, but that is what he was.” Zidane
“I find it a disgrace that he didn’t win european footballer of the year in 2005 after Istanbul. For me, he is one of the best ever. Whenever you play Liverpool you know you have to get him out of the game. If not, it’s over for you.” Thierry Henry
“He’s a fantastic statesman; he has been unbelievably successful with this football club with what he’s done, the amount of games he has pulled out the mire, and the general way he conducts himself.” Kenny Dalglish
“He has become the most influential player in England, bar none. Not that Vieira lacks anything, but Gerrard does more.” Alex Ferguson
“I think Gerrard is England’s greatest ever player. I wish him a happy retirement!” Lionel Messi
Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti both wanted Gerrard throughout their careers. Both had midfielders like Lampard, Pirlo, Sneijder, Essien, Makelele, Gattuso. But, they always, were after Gerrard.
But he stayed loyal throughout, and carried us through tough years. When he did have great teammates, Alonso, Suarez, Torres etc, he was unplayable. 26 G/A from DM at 34. But don’t measure him on stats cos he was much more than that.
Captain. Hero. Legend.
