Wherever he goes, Gerrard also can be considered a model professional off the field and will be idolize by many people for years to come.

In the talisman Gerrard, Liverpool have a reliable skipper who can not only lead but turn a match around incrediblly at the most critical moment. For instance, he leads Liverpool in the dramatic final against AC Milan where that match is regarded as 'The Greatest Comeback" in football history. A year later, when most Liverpool fans get frustrated in the FA Cup final match where 'The Reds' were losing 2-3 to West Ham until the final minute. In the middle of nowhere, Stevie G fires a tremendous long range strike into the bottom corner to level up the score. Liverpool eventually won the match in penalty shootout. The FA Cup Final also branded as "The Gerrard's Final" for his superb performance.
