Steven Gerrard
Facts ?
Steven George Gerrard MBE is an English professional football manager and former player, who manages Premier League club Aston Villa.
As a manager, he was named as Manager of the Year for 2021 by PFA Scotland and the SFWA. Gerrard was born in Whiston, Merseyside, the second son of Paul and Julie Ann Gerrard.
Gerrard had trials with various clubs at fourteen, but his success was not immediate; Gerrard never made it into the England schoolboys' team.
Gerrard admitted that he was not "Happy with the progress Liverpool has made", and that "For the first time in my career I've thought about the possibility of moving on." Ultimately, Gerrard turned down a £20 million offer from Chelsea, staying with Liverpool under new coach Rafael BenÃtez.
In regards to his contract issues with Liverpool, Gerrard told the press after the final, "How can I leave after a night like this?" but negotiations soon stalled and on 5 July 2005, after Liverpool turned down another lucrative offer from Chelsea, Gerrard's agent Struan Marshall informed Liverpool chief executive Rick Parry that Gerrard was rejecting a club-record £100,000-a-week offer.
Parry conceded the club had lost Gerrard, saying, "Now we have to move on. We have done our best, but he has made it clear he wants to go and I think it looks pretty final." The next day, Gerrard signed a new four-year deal as Parry blamed the earlier breakdown of talks on miscommunication between the two sides.
Eleven days later, Gerrard came off the bench to score a second-half hat-trick in a 3-1 win over Napoli in the Europa League.
