Yet another overrated footballer, at least within these shores, for the all familar trait of being English.
He leads the hypocrisy brigade when it comes to the notions of all other footballers, especially foreign ones (i.e. Christiano Ronaldo) are cheats, yet he dived in the 2004 Champions' League Final, and does it regular for his club, Liverpool. Just ask fans of Sheffield United from the opening day of this season, or how about for England duty against Hungary before the World Cup. Of course, as he's English and white, it's "clever" play, unlike when someone like didier Drogba does it.
He also seems to fit into David Beckham's place on the right side of midfield for England very well - he constantly exposes the defence by going on runs up the field or cutting inside in search of his own personal glory, so everyone else has to cover for his ego. Just like he fits into Michael Owen's place at Liverpool due to winning penalties more often than any other player.

Steven Gerrard is the world's best midfielder (apart from the likes of Pirlo or Gattuso, who are World Class, not just players that look good against West Brom and Sunderland).

Once famed captain of Liverpool FC who saw his team lift the UEFA Cup and a chance to enter the Champions League. Now plans to leave Anfield, much to the anger of loyal Liverpool fans.
Clubs are currently asking for his services, inclucing Chelsea, Real Madrid, and AC Milan.
Mocked by fans of Chelsea for scoring own goal in Carling Cup. Chelsea wins Carling Cup.

The delivery boy slipped on the driveway and dropped all the fruit he was going to deliver, that was his Steven Gerrard moment

A slang term for Liverpool FC, who's fans treat Steven Gerrard as a god and base the entire club around him. Many believe he is the best player in the world, he has more saying power in Liverpool FC then most Chairmen would have in their own team.
