Steven Gerrard - Spotlight On
The former England skipper is leaving Anfield at the end of the season on a free transfer after agreeing to join MLS outfit LA Galaxy.
Gerrard has enjoyed a stellar career at Liverpool, and former team-mate Riise believes the midfield veteran deserves to be recognised as the club's finest player of all time.
I agree with [Robbie] Fowler. He is the greatest Liverpool has ever had
Writing in his blog at johnariise.com, the left-back said: "I wanna thank Gerrard for everything he has taught me. Even though we are the same age, he became someone I looked up to and someone I wanted to learn from.
"I am grateful for the time I had on the pitch with him. Liverpool has many legends, but I agree with [Robbie] Fowler. He is the greatest Liverpool has ever had.
"I am honoured that I can say I played 7 years with the legend himself. I won Champions League with him, even though I think he won it for us."
