The unforgettable career of Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard's has hung up the boots, bringing down the curtain on one of the most memorable careers in English football.
In his 17 years in the first team, 12 of them as captain, Gerrard played a leading role in some of the club's unforgettable wins.
He is the only man to have scored in the final of the Champions League, Uefa Cup, FA Cup and League Cup but could never lead the Reds to a drought-breaking league title, finishing a runner-up three times in his career.
From Istanbul to Cardiff, take a look back at the moments that made a legend.
Gerrard made his debut for his boyhood club in November 1998 as a substitute.
He battled injuries and nervousness early in the early days.
The midfielder was known for the occasional rash challenge early in his career.
He also quickly became known for thundering long-range strikes.
He won his first trophy in 2001/02 when Liverpool triumphed in the League Cup.
It was just the start that season.
He scored as Liverpool also claimed the UEFA Cup.
The European triumph came after a thrilling 5-4 extra-time win over Alaves.
