Some quotes from Steven Gerrard?s Autobiography My Story!
I've never been able to say this in public before, but I was seriously concerned that we thought we could blow Chelsea away. I sensed an over-confidence in Brendan's team talks. We played into Chelsea's hands. I feared it then and I know it now.
Liverpool was leading the table by five points with three games to go ? but then, in April 2014, they were beaten 2-0 by Jose Mourinho's Chelsea. The loss was blamed on Gerrard's slip, which gave the ball away to Demba Ba for a goal in first-half injury time. But in his book, Steven points the finger at Rodgers, blaming him for Chelsea's victory? and Man City's ultimate win of the Premier League title.
I've had tons of offers to advertise products bare-chested and I've always said no. Maybe that's why, unlike most leading players, I've never asked for an image rights deal with Liverpool It's disgusting for a player to ask for image rights from his club They pay you well and you work for them.
We've all seen the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham in next to nothing on various black and white TV adverts. But Gerrard's rejection to be involved in any image rights deals is interesting and is perhaps one of the reasons he was lauded for his everyman quality something that fans tend to warm to.
Steven Gerrard is a phenomenon. He has played over 700 games for his beloved Liverpool and is the third most capped player in English football. He is one of the greatest sportsmen of his generation.
In My Story Gerrard speaks fully and frankly about his extraordinary playing career, opening up about the key matches and moments to give us the view from on the pitch. His exhilarating accounts of winning and losing while staying loyal to one club through good and bad tell us about his commitment both to the game and to Liverpool. It's a story of a deeply personal relationship between one man, his club and the fans. And it is a story that is far from over.
Explosive and searingly honest, Steven Gerrard's My Story is the last word from an era-defining player.
