Gerrard, who was Liverpool’s longest serving captain, has had a glorious 19 year career in football. Making his debut way back in 1998, Gerrard made a staggering 710 appearances for Liverpool, spanning 17 seasons. Gerrard dawned in the captains’ arm band for the Reds in 2003 and went to become one of the most successful captains of the popular club. Under Gerrard, Liverpool won two FA Cups, one UEFA Champions League and one UEFA Cup. Gerrard was also instrumental in leading Liverpool to the famous 2005 Champions League title, beating AC Milan after coming back from a 0-3 deficit.
Gerrard, also regarded as one of England’s greatest mid-fielders, has represented his country in 114 matches, the fourth highest by an Englishman, only behind Peter Shelton, Wayne Rooney and David Beckham.
After spending 17 seasons at Anfield, Liverpool’s home ground, Gerrard decided to move to LA Galaxy in 2015. The mid-fielder then decided to hang his boots following his clubs defeat in the MLS Play-offs.
Gerrard says "I am currently taking my time to consider a number of options and will make an announcement with regards to the next stage of my career very soon."
