Any football players have their own story to tell. From a
controversy one to a majestic counterpart. Eventually, some stories are too
proud to be told again and again. This story is one of them. Steven Gerrard is
a popular figure and a captain for Liverpool. Even though, he is not there
challenging for titles anymore, he is still our legend. With his undoubtedly
amazing technique, his profound contribution, and winning mentality, he is
arguably one of the best player in the world this era.
Loyalty is something not a lot of players have. Steven
Gerrard especially is part of Liverpool Football Club. Evidently, He spent a
total of 27 years at the senior and junior level of the club. That is a pretty
astonishing record, is it not? Arguably however, Francesco Totti might spend
more year at Roma than Gerrard did. Be that as it may, Gerrard might still have
a whopping 504 appearances for Liverpool alone, a lot more than Ibrahimović or
most of the other players have. Loyalty is important in relationships, even
more in professional football. Leaving club after club may have rough result
with the fans since leaving a club might be seen as betrayal. Gerrard is
undoubtedly our legend not only for his loyalty, but also for his
professionalism. He trained really hard his entire career at Liverpool with a
mentality to reach higher level. He was the first to arrive at the training
complex and the last to leave. This evidence further proves how much of a
leader he is. Yes, football talents do not necessary mean he will become a
world-class player. As a result, you need to train, train hard to get ready for
games at a highest level. Steven Gerrard has done exactly that; he is a model
for players to look up to. Up on the pitch, he is a leader and a motivation. Remember
the historical comeback against Ac Milan in Champion League 2005 at Istanbul?
He inspired them for that comeback. The first goal is always important for a
comeback to happen, he did just that. With intense pressure, he calmly rose up
and nodded the ball into the back of the net. Incredible, eh? In the end, he
spent more than 20 years with Liverpool as a leader, a motivator, and a model.
Some may argue he still has not won the Premiere League and his slip against
Chelsea was costly; however, everyone can make mistakes and he has one of
those, but few could blame him after what he has done for us. It would take forever
to talk about his legacy, Steven Gerrard’s own legacy after all. 
Steven Gerrard is loved by Liverpool and by most football
fans around the world. He may not have won the ultimate prize of English Football, The Premiere League, but he has won a place in my heart and my admiration. His time will not be forgotten, at least
while I am still here, but indelible within my heart. Thank you Steven Gerrard, you will never walk alone!
"Cut my veins open and I bleed Liverpool Red", Steven Gerrard.
