Product Description

At just 25, Steven Gerrard has already fulfilled his dreams of success and glory in the world of soccer. A lifetime supporter of Liverpool FC, Steven is surely the most successful product of the club's youth academy. In such a short space of time, the young trainee reached outstanding form as he continually improved his game. He was the winner of the PFA Young Player of the Year in 2001 and has been nominated for the senior award in recent years. An all-rounded player, he has played a pivotal role for both club and country making him one of the most popular players of all time. As his playing went from strength to strength, he quickly followed in the steps of Liverpool legends such as Ian Rush and John Barnes as he was passed the captains armband. In 2005, Gerrard reached an ultimate high as he marched his side to victory in the Champions League Final in Istanbul. With Liverpool crowned the champions of Europe, Gerrard became the greatest hero and a highly sought-after player.

1.0 out of 5 stars Compilation of Quotes From The S** , July 27, 2006

By	Real LFC Fan (NYC, USA) - See all my reviews

Please do not waste your money on this trash. The author's research seems to consist of reviewing and extensively quoting from a tabloid rag that no true Liverpool fan would touch. Talk about a know-nothing glory hunter -- the kid who wrote this must be laughing all the way to the bank --shocked this got published.
