I was smurfing eleven when he made his debut. Tell you what, between 2004 and 2009 he was arguably the finest midfielder on the planet. The man could move mountains.

Probably for the best now, though. I think the slip utterly destroyed him and he's more than earned the right to go off to the US or whatever for a retirement nest egg somewhere new. Just will seem weird as hell having a Liverpool without Steven Gerrard.
