In the summer of 2005, Chelsea again tried to lure Gerrard away from Liverpool, and his move looked certain after reportedly been in argument with his Manager.

I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we,suffer a bad result.
I have always applied myself the same for club and country.
In football, the hero and legend status is given out far too easily for,me.
I might be an ambassador.
It was difficult knowing one of your cousins had lost his life.
I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.
I have no regrets.
The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.
We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.
Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was,fantastic.
Grilled salmon and brown pasta works for me every time.
I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.
I am gonna go into my coaching badges after my England days are finished,and I have the time on my international break.
The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.
It will be a dream come true if I can go there and lift it.
When I leave the car park at Melwood, I try and become a completely different person. I try to get away from it. You have got to. Otherwise you end up like Jamie Carragher - obsessed!.
