English football player Steven George Gerrard was born on May 30th 1980 in Whiston, Merseyside. He is a player on the Liverpool team, where he wears the number 8 shirt and is also captain. Gerrard was noticed by Liverpool's scouts at the young age of eight and joined the Reds as a schoolboy in 1987. He signed his first professional contract with Liverpool in 1997. Gerrard has been described as a powerful and versatile midfielder, and is known for his long-range shots and impressive passes. He's usually positioned as midfielder, although he has often been placed as a right-sided midfielder, and occasionally as a second striker. Throughout his career he has won many titles including the PFA Young Player of the Year, PFA Player of the Year, European Midfielder of the year, Premier League Most Valuable Player, and UEFA Most Valuable Player. He has also been awarded the MBE (member of the Order of the British Empire) by the queen for his exceptional performance in the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final and the 2006 FA Cup Final where he significantly contributed to his team's comeback. He has been nominated three times for the FIFA Player of the Year and in 2008 he was voted by fans as the Nationwide England Player of the Year for 2007. Gerrard published his first autobiography in 2006, "Gerrard: My Autobiography", in which he talks extensively about his personal life, Liverpool and England careers. Gerrard said in the autobiography that his goal before he retires is to get a "well done" from manager Rafael Benitez. |
