I had the pleasure of watching him from his debut until his last game . For my generation I think Steven Gerrard will always be the greatest liverpool legend . He carried the club with super human performances when we needed him most . Wore the jersey with ultimate pride and gave us reds a focal point of what our team meant . Even when the ultimate test of loyalty came in that summer after the CL win . He couldn ' t leave , he didn ' t leave , when many professionals or even fans could understand why a player of his calibre would want to go and win consistently at a powerhouse club , he was a red at heart . I have a six week old son . I just hope that someday he will have a player like Steven Gerrard to show him what loyalty to a club means . I wish him all the best in the future . My captain .
