Lampwick Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I'm a Gooner myself but wanted to say what a player and man! He will be missed by many! All the best Stevie G! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmytree Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Never heard of him. Is he a batsman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Decent club player, who never really hacked it at international level. I never subscribed to the view that he was brilliant and thought he was hardly a role model. Overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Football is a funny old game and completely splits opinions. I thought that Gerrard was one of the best midfielders of his generation and could have walked into any team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pothunter Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Football is a funny old game and completely splits opinions. I thought that Gerrard was one of the best midfielders of his generation and could have walked into any team. No doubt at all. He was a phenomenal footballer. I don't like Liverpool or subscribe to the "what a guy" stuff, but he could have played for any team in the world. (And they did indeed ask). I watch a lot of live (ie not on TV) football and Gerrard is the most complete and dominant English player I have seen in the last 20 years.

chrisjh Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I grant you he was a half decent midfielder but overrated quite honestly, looked good in a Liverpool team that's done very little for the last 25 years fluked the champions league, certainly not fit to lace the boots of real quality like Scholes, Keane or Robson plenty of other i could add Vieira and Petit Lampard. He is also quite a nasty piece of work and anyone inside football knows he has a few skeletons so no "slip" off Gerrard into the Sooooker pay day world with out your premier league winners medal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) Ordinary people would have been put in prison...he had the money to settle out of court. Decent club player but played for Liverpool in an era when they were poor generally Never really consistent for England. Remarkable achievement playing just for one club though in this day and age.

novice cushie shooter Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Lucky to have seen him a few times a thoroughly class player just a shame some poor managerial choices mean the team as a whole never matched his desire/potential in his time.

johnphilip Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Never heard of him. Is he a batsman? I think they are talking football, cant stand the game myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) He scored some decent goals, but people forget the hundreds of times he ballooned the ball into the top of the stands. Never learned to keep the ball down and over hit almost every pass. I have a lot of family in Liverpool - by marriage - and very few think he is Liverpool's best ever player.

Psyxologos Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 I really know very little about football, but he has produced some entertaining moments. then again I might only just remember the good bits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
