Steven George Gerrard (born May 30, 1980 in Whiston, Merseyside, England)
Biography
Gerrard was raised on the Bluebell estate in Huyton, Merseyside. While attending Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School in West Derby, Liverpool, Gerrard was known to go on scouting trips to check out rival school teams. In 1994 whilst in Year 9, he was part of the Liverpool YTS scheme and almost made it into the England Schoolboys team, a small blemish on his now successful career.
Gerrard is widely regarded as one of the best players in the current Liverpool squad, if not the best. To date Liverpool has been his only club. He joined as a boy in 1989 and has come up through the ranks to the first team, in the footsteps of fellow homegrown youth academy seniors like Steve McManaman and recently re-signed Robbie Fowler.
