“Mikä legenda, mikä ura” – maailmantähtien kunnianosoitukset kertovat, kuinka paljon Steven Gerrardia arvostetaan

Jalkapallon suurnimet ja -seurat kehuvat kilvan pelaajauransa päättänyttä Steven Gerrardia, 36. Kokosimme alle joitakin kunnianosoituksia, joita Liverpool-ikoni on viimeksi kuluneen vuorokauden aikana saanut.

This day was always going to come but it’s still sad to see one of the greatest midfielders in the game retire… It was a pleasure to captain a national team knowing we had Stevie in our midfield and also a pleasure to have played against him despite this challenge he was a good friend on and off the field … A player that can run , pass , tackle , head , set up goals and score goals a true all rounder .. Good luck to Stevie and his beautiful family … @england @stevengerrard
