THE STIFFMEISTER 14,569 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Gerrard is a little unique amongst players as well. I always felt a little sorry for him being a scouser as if he’d been a cockney or manc , he wouldn’t have felt obliged ir guilt tripped into staying at an average Chelsea or united side and could have left to probably have established himself as the best English player of his generation. He carried that club almost single handedly for a decade, fantastic yes ! But the fact that he didn’t achieve the things he could have makes him a lesser player than Scholes , Keane, Beckham and lampard in my eyes a shame really as he was completely unique amongst his era. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackmaggie 3,375 Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Didn't Gerrard nearly join Chelsea at one time some are happy and settled in there surrounding if they have been they're all there career I think that's why he stayed even though a move could of brought medals some say its loyalty can't see it myself because surely as a pro sport man that's your aim is to win things look at matt le tisser could of moved but stayed best striker outside the top flight I have seen Steve bull did the same 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was my hero as s kid so I can't help but look at him thru rose tinted specs. I just loved the attitude on him and his sheer Gaul to try things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
