Как и остальные его товарищи по команде, Стивен быстро смирился с горечью поражения в финале ЛЧ в 2007, в котором красные проиграли со счетом 2-1. Хотя второй сезон подряд Ливерпуль ничего не выиграл, у вдохновенного капитана Ливерпуля был просто фантастический Once in a generation a player comes along to whom nothing seems impossible. Luckily, that man wears the No.8 shirt at Anfield. Liverpool's inspirational captain is arguably the most complete footballer in the world. Power, pace, touch and a never-say-die attitude; Stevie G has it all, and rarely have these attributes been more apparent than when he skippered the Reds to 2005 Champions League glory in Istanbul. The current Football Writers' Player of the Year has collected just about every medal during more than 10 years in the first team - except the Premier League. He's also captained his country and in 2006 was awarded an MBE by the Queen. Gerrard's LFC love affair began when he was spotted playing for Whiston Juniors aged nine. Eight years later, after a period as a trainee, he signed his first professional contract. Within 12 months the starlet had made his first-team debut, coming on as a second-half sub for Vegard Heggem against Blackburn Rovers on November 29, 1998. Gerrard played 13 games in his debut season, in part due to the injury woes of fellow midfielder Jamie Redknapp. Persistent back and groin problems punctuated his blossoming career, though he'd managed to establish himself as a first-team regular by the start of the 1999-00 season. It proved to be a momentous campaign for the Whiston-born youngster, not least because of a spectacular first professional goal at Anfield against Sheffield Wednesday. England coach Kevin Keegan was starting to take note. Having already featured at under-18 and under-21 level, Gerrard was handed his first senior international cap against Ukraine in May 2000. From there he was selected for Euro 2000 in Holland and Belgium, but had to settle for just a single substitute appearance. By now regarded as the complete box-to-box midfielder, he was instrumental in the Reds winning a unique treble in 2001. With the Worthington and FA Cups already in the bag, Gerrard was one of the scorers in an unforgettable 5-4 UEFA Cup final victory over Alaves. It came as no surprise when the man nicknamed the Huyton Hammer was voted PFA Young Player of the Year. The milestones were starting to stack up for Gerrard, who kicked off the following season by netting his first international goal in the famous 5-1 trouncing of Germany in their own backyard. The win helped Sven's men secure a World Cup place, but heartbreak followed when a groin injury ruled the midfield maestro out of Japan and South Korea. A disappointing domestic season followed, the highlight of which was a Worthington Cup final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Gerrard opened the scoring in a satisfying 2-0 win over Manchester United. By the start of 2003-04 the midfielder had firmly established himself as Liverpool's on-field leader, and it was no surprise when Houllier handed him the captain's armband in place of Sami Hyypia. The decision proved such a success that within six months Gerrard was captaining England against Sweden in the absence of David Beckham. Just when it seemed things couldn't get any better for the Scouser, they did. On May 25, 2005, under new boss Rafa Benitez, Gerrard lifted the club's fifth European Cup. Что же до частной жизни, то 16 июня 2007 года Стиви женился на своей давней подруге – модели Алекс Курран, которая уже успела родить ему двух дочерей (Лили-Эллу и Лекси). В конце марта капитан без особых переговоров продлил контракт с клубом до 2013 года. Основан: 1892 Адрес: Anfield Road, Liverpool, L4 OTH Стадион: "Энфилд Роуд" (Anfield Road), вместимость - 45.362

Через год состоялся дебют Стиви за взрослую команду «Ливерпуля». В ноябре 1998 года он впервые вышел на замену в матче против «Блэкберна». Впрочем, тогда это был всего лишь маленький кусочек матча, а в основе Стив появился чуть позже, в игре на Кубок УЕФА против «Сельты» 8 декабря того же года. После той игры о нём начали говорить за пределами Ливерпуля. А потом надолго выбыл измученный травмами Джейми Рэднепп, и Джеррарда стали всё чаще выпускать в основе. Немалая роль в становлении молодого футболиста принадлежит тогдашнему тренеру «мерсисайдцев» Жерару Улье, о чём помнит и сам Джеррард, называя француза своим «вторым отцом» в многочисленных интервью
