Steven Gerrard was not a man who transcended club loyalties. But he was a great player, probably the best to never win the Premier League.

It was not simply his ability, the passing and goals, and his athleticism. It was Gerrard's will to win & team-mindedness that set him apart

People saying Gerrard's career was a failure, note he could've won twice the amount of trophies than anyone at your club if he wasn't loyal

Steven Gerrard is one of the greatest players of the Premier League era. If you can't appreciate that, then it's your loss.

Steven Gerrard - basically everything you thought a midfielder should be when you were a kid.

— Tom Williams (@tomwfootball) November 24, 2016

Gerrard was a wild, playground footballer who specialised in glorious moments. It's how most kids would dream their career panning out

Let's not forget that Gerrard won the 05 UCL with the most mediocre of Liverpool teams playing against arguably the greatest Milan team.
