Fuck I was just thinking on your previous question and thought there have been a few great players but the one that really stood out for me personally was Maldini, loved the big man. Thought it must have been a trick and I missed someone.

To throw in a German as well  I also loved Lothar Matthäus when I was younger, though he was a wee wizard in control.

As to the Op's original question, Stevie G is an ex Liverpool legend and now our manager so I know how I feel about it.

Sticking with the same German since 91 is a harder one though tbf. 

Klose still holds the WC record. 

Then you have Kahn etc.

Aye he did it all on his own, what a hero. There was poor Abramovich spending his billions when all that was needed was dear old Franky to get involved and job sorted. 

Cheers for the bite mate.

Name the best Italian player you've seen in your lifetime. 

Mines is from 91 till now so no cheating.

I remember hearing a rumor a few years ago that Chelsea was in for Gerrard and that the deal was almost pushed through but some Liverpool gangster had told him that he was going no where. Not sure if there was anything in the story but I do always remember him somehow being linked to some doggy characters.

Without reading any further in this thread it's got to be Maldini?

Definitely the Devine ponytail the Buddhist cracking player imo I’m sure he was nominated for the balon dor after USA 94 when he went to Bologna (i think).

Gerrard was never half the player lampard was.

Scouser though. Frank Lampard should've been our man.  

I know what you mean, but when i watched Gerrard on the panel alongside Lampard, and Ferdinand for the Champs League Final, I was pleased that Gerrard was our manager. Especially so given where we are right now. 

[Big Al 55 9,241]

You can't talk Italian legends and not mention Baresi ffs. Then of course Buffon.

I used to like teams if I liked a player.

Jim Baxter was my first love. Him, and the rest of my family being blue noses, made me into a Rangers supporter.

I also liked Colin Bell of Man City, and I've liked City ever since. Was a Kippax regular when I lived in Manchester, unless I was coming home for a Rangers game.

I also started liking AC Milan, because of Paulo Maldini. He was a tremendous player, even from a very young age. I think he was 18 when he broke into the 1st team regularly, and I always liked Milan since then. However The Rangers are my first love, my only true love....WATP! ??

My point still stands though, he was a bit of a diving bastard.

That wasn't aimed at  you mate ?

His lack of managerial experience is obviously the worst thing.

[livibear101 248]

I’m a Rangers fan first and foremost but always have followed Liverpool been to some games at anfield and have been lucky enough to watch Gerrard play. For me he is the best midfielder of his generation and a legend. Iv also read both his books and u can tell the passion he has for the game and for Liverpool.

No one believes me when I say he was my favourite non-Rangers player ever.

There are older fans on here who may remember Pele, or have a soft spot for Dalgleish.

There are younger fans on here watching the modern game who may adore Ronaldo or Messi.

But Steven Gerrard's passion for club and country should never be overlooked. He never acted like a cunt. He was a true professional footballer. He was at Liverpool for years while his English playmates jumped ship from their respective clubs. He understands the game from playing as a kid to playing at the highest level. His attitude is cleary respected by the English media. 

But some friends and workmates think I only respect him because he is our manager.

 

Anyway, this is a longwinded way of asking what you thought of him as a player? Highlights... low points...?

He is held in the highest regard at Liverpool

That is why the scum won't get Wilson. There is a story here but the beggar loving media won't go there .

He is one of these players ,no one really disliked. Most fans and players admired him for mostly everying he did in the game.He seems to be a family man which is something we all aspire too .

When I think of him as a player

The thunderbolt against West Ham and the amazing night in CL final where he drove his team to an amazing fight back .

Low point will always stay with me.I was walking round Bella park listening to the Liverpool v Chelsea game and literally just about to buy the house I'm in .I wanted Chelsea to desepetately stop them from winning the league .That was because I hated their manager at that point . So I will never forget the day of his slip.

To have him at Ibrox is one truly magnificent signing though

I really hope it ends well for him here .Anything else is not worth thinking about

He was a monumental diver. His diving highlight reels are epic. He dived like someone who really practised diving.

Went to AC Milan but didn't really work out. Ended up at Inter, then Bologna where he was brilliant again and then I think he finished at Brescia.

Seen a story down here that we have first refusal on any young players Liverpool want to loan out. Its from the Sun so could be shite. Apparently a deal was agreed between Gerrard and Klopp.

[LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510]

Great player who scored some unbelievable goals. Probably one of my favourites as well but to say he never acted like a cunt is bending the truth to say the least.

[demise 3,492]

All time favourite - Dennis Bergkamp.

[Paulbrian11 432]

Preferred Lampard.

Can only be one

Good player but I raise you...

Length of his career at the top maybe wasn't as long as it should have been but in his absolute prime at Inter he was unstoppable. Favourite non-Rangers player.
