West Ham boss Slaven Bilic: Liverpool badly miss this Anfield legend
WEST HAM boss Slaven Bilic believes Liverpool miss the leadership of their former captain and club icon Steven Gerrard.
Slaven Bilic claims that Liverpool miss Steven Gerrard after he left Anfield last summer
Gerrard left Liverpool last summer after 17 years playing for his boyhood club and one of the former England captain’s greatest games in a Red shirt was the 2006 FA Cup final against West Ham.
He scored twice to rescue Liverpool from 2-1 and 3-2 down and they went on to lift the trophy - winning on penalties after extra time following a 3-3 draw.
“Steven [Gerrard] is almost unique in modern-day football — a one-club man in this country and an icon for Liverpool — one of the greatest players to play for that club, perhaps the greatest,” Bilic wrote in the Evening Standard.
