(Steven Gerrard became perhaps the greatest player in the ...)
Steven Gerrard became perhaps the greatest player in the history of Liverpool FC, but did so when success and trophies were declining. It became his personal mission to lift the famous club back to the top. That loyalty raised him to God-like status with Liverpool fans, but was an unbearable burden, bringing with it a profound sense of responsibility to live up to their and his own expectations.
Steven Gerrard is one of the most famous football players in the world. He is a hero to millions not only as the inspirational captain of Liverpool FC, but as a key member of the England team. Gerrard has been described as one of the greatest English midfielders in history, "a real leader."
Besides, Steven manages Scottish Premiership club Rangers.
Background
Steven Gerrard was born in Whiston, United Kingdom on the 30th of May, 1980 by Paul Gerrard and Julie Ann Gerrard. Steven was brought up in Liverpool. He has an older brother named Paul. His cousin Anthony Gerrard is also a professional footballer who played as a defender for Oldham Athletic.
Education
Steven Gerrard started out playing for hometown team Whiston Juniors. There he was noticed by Liverpool scouts. He joined the Liverpool Academy at the age of nine. Gerrard also attended the Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School upon the recommendation of his primary school teacher. He had trials with various clubs at fourteen, but his success was not immediate. Gerrard didn't make it into the England schoolboys' team.
Gerrard was discovered by his local upper-division football club, Liverpool FC, at the age of nine. He played for Liverpool's youth squad and signed a professional contract with them at the age of 17. His first-team debut came in 1998, and he became a regular contributor the following year. Gerrard had established himself as a star midfielder by the 2000-2001 season, when Liverpool won the League, Football Association (FA), and Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) cups.
Gerrard was named Liverpool's captain in 2003, at the age of 23. In the 2004-2005 season he led Liverpool to the club's first Champions League title in 21 years, scoring a key goal in Liverpool's dramatic three-goal comeback against AC Milan in the final. During the following off-season he became embroiled in a high-profile contract dispute with Liverpool that nearly resulted in his transfer to Chelsea FC before he ultimately re-signed with his longtime club. Gerrard then helped Liverpool win both the 2005-2006 FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup, and he was named the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year at season's end. In 2007 Liverpool advanced to the Champions League final for the second time in three years but lost to AC Milan by a score of 2-1. Gerrard scored a career-high 24 goals in the 2008-2009 Premier League season, which netted him the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year award.
Gerrard and Liverpool then ran off a string of four consecutive season finishes outside the top five Premier League positions. One bright spot during that stretch was the team's performance in the nonleague tournaments during the 2011-2012 season, when Liverpool won the League Cup and was the runner-up for the FA Cup. The club broke through in 2013-2014, leading the Premier League for six of the final seven weeks of the season only to relinquish the championship in the final week to place second in the league. Gerrard played one more season with Liverpool, leaving the team following the 2014-2015 season having scored 186 career goals for the club, fifth most in Liverpool history. He then joined the Los Angeles Galaxy of Major League Soccer (MLS). Gerrard played with the Galaxy for two seasons before retiring from club football in 2016.
Gerrard was a member of the English national under-21 team, and he debuted with the senior national team in 2000. He made one appearance in the 2000 European Championship (Euro 2000), but an injury kept him out of the 2002 World Cup. Gerrard was a regular contributor to England's runs to the quarterfinals in both the Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup. Gerrard was named captain of the English national team during qualification for the 2010 World Cup, in which the team was subsequently knocked out in the round of 16. England again advanced to the quarterfinals of Euro 2012 but was eliminated from the 2014 World Cup after having played just two games (both losses), which was the earliest the country had ever been knocked out of the tournament finals; Gerrard retired from international football shortly after the end of the World Cup.
After ending his playing career, in January 2017, Steven was appointed youth coach for Liverpool. In April, it was reported that Gerrard would be taking charge of the Liverpool Under-18 side ahead of the 2017-2018 season. On September 7, 2017, the club announced Gerrard would manage the Under-19 team in the 2017-2018 UEFA Youth League. In April 2018, Steven entered talks to become the new manager of Scottish Premiership club Rangers. On May 4, Rangers announced that Gerrard would become their new manager from June 1, ahead of the 2018-2019 season, signing a four-year deal.

Quotations:
"I've got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club."
"I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on... It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact."
"I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy."
"I'm a fan myself and I'm frustrated just as much as them when we get beat."
"I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result."
"Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person."
"This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously."
"It's too easy to blame other people in football."
"I have always applied myself the same for club and country."
"I am gonna go into my coaching badges after my England days are finished and I have the time on my international break."
"If you don't play well, you have a bad game or a nightmare, you know that the amount of coverage is worldwide."

Quotes from others about the person
Frank Lampard: "Best player I've played against in the Premier League? Steven Gerrard. Stevie G for the amount of consistency over the years. When Stevie was on it at Anfield he had everything. He was physical, he could run past you, he could shoot, he had everything."
Frank Lampard: "Steven Gerrard probably edges it as the best I have played against, for his consistency over the years."
Paul Scholes: "Steven could do absolutely everything on a football pitch. He was quick, he was strong, he was physical, he could score goals and he could make goals."
Paul Scholes: "Steven can do anything, he's in the Vieira mould, where he can sit and hold the ball, spray it about and score goals as well. If there are any weaknesses to his game I've not seen them. Every time I play with him for England I realise what a great player he is. And he does it week in, week out for Liverpool."
