Steven Gerrard: The irreplaceable
Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard to leave Liverpool at the end of the season.
Kop idol Steven Gerrard will not renew his contract with Liverpool and as a result will leave the club at the end of summer.
The 34 year old’s official statement read as follows :
"This has been the toughest decision of my life, one both me and my family have agonised over for a good deal of time," said the ex-England midfielder.
"I won't be playing for a competing club and will not therefore be lining up against Liverpool."
"My decision is completely based on my wish to experience something different in my career and life and I also want to make sure that I have no regrets when my playing career is eventually over.
"From now until the last kick of the last game of the season, I will be as fully committed to the team as I ever have been and giving everything I have to help Liverpool win games."
The speculation is rife that the Englishman will move across the pond and join a MLS side, with LA Galaxy leading the race at the moment. It is indeed an end of era for Liverpool where they will have to search a new leader to fill in the huge void that will be left by Stevie G.
We at TFM wish Steven 'Stevie G' Gerrard a hearty good bye from Liverpool. He indeed is a living Legend.
