Liverpool Signed Gerrard Shirt Framed Liverpool shirt hand signed by the Anfield legend Steven Gerrard at a private signing session. About Steven Gerrard, Born and raised in Liverpool, Steven Gerrard is the undisputed fans39 favourite at Anfield and the midfielder39s dynamic, action packed performances for the Reds over almost a decade have seen him forge a reputation as one of world football39s greatest players. He made his senior debut for the club from the bench in March 1998 in a Premiership clash against Blackburn Rovers and he quickly established himself as an indispensable member of the side under the management of Gerard Houllier. His influence grew with each season, he was first capped by Kevin Keegan in May 2000 against Ukraine and he was a key figure in Liverpool39s treble winning 2000 01 season, when the club famously club the FA, Uefa and League Cups. In recognition of his contribution, he was voted the PFA39s Young Player of the Year. His career has gone from strength to strength since then. He was named club captain in 2003 and under his leadership the side has also added another FA and League Cup to the Liverpool trophy cabinet. His finest moment, however, came in the Champions League final of 2005 against AC Milan in Istanbul. Trailing 3 0 at half time, the Reds looked dead and buried until Gerrard39s second half goal inspired a famous fightback and Rafa Benitez39s side went on to lift European football39s greatest prize for a fifth time after winning a dramatic penalty shootout. Voted the PFA Player of the Year in 2006 and awarded an MBE the following year, Gerrard is quite simply one of the finest players of his generation and with his 30th birthday a reassuringly distant prospect, he has many years at the very top for club and country ahead of him.
