Steven Gerrard Autobiography | Extracts

He's only in the FIFA 100 because of where he's from and the obvious need for some African representatives. If done again there are many African players that would make it on instead of him.
 
More from Rafa on The Man with No Medals:

“This is not the time to get into this but he (Gerrard) is a phenomenal player and my relationship with him was good. It can remain so if he so wishes”.
 
Is there a bigger wanker this side of scouseland than this odious twat.

Steven Gerrard has pointed the finger at Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers for his “over-confidence” ahead of the Anfield clash with Chelsea, which scuppered the Reds’ 2013-14 Premier League title tilt.

The Reds led the league by five points with just three games remaining 17 months ago, but they were beaten 2-0 by Chelsea – the game which featured Gerrard’s infamous slip.

The LA Galaxy man, who has admitted to being haunted by that night, lost his footing deep inside his own half allowing Demba Ba to put the Blues ahead.

Liverpool then drew 3-3 away at Crystal Palace and ended up finishing two points behind the champions Manchester City, and Gerrard says Rodgers’ attitude ahead of the Chelsea game was costly.

In ‘Steven Gerrard: My Story,’ he wrote: “I’ve never been able to say this in public before but I was seriously concerned that we thought we could blow Chelsea away. I sensed an over-confidence in Brendan’s team talks.

“We played into Chelsea’s hands. I feared it then and I know it now.”

Gerrard also recalls the moment he was told he would not be in the starting line-up against Manchester United last season.

“A sudden lump formed in my throat,” he said. “I had a split-second decision to make. Do I have a go at him?”

Gerrard was used as a half-time substitute at Old Trafford but was sent off just 38 seconds after stamping on Ander Herrera.

I don't dislike Gerrard but christ, he's coming off as a bit of a bellend in some of these extracts.

I know he didn't write a single word of that book (autobiography my arse) but you would think he'd have read it before allowing it to be released in his name.
 
What an absolute wanker. Surely if he felt overconfidence in the team he should have been calming them down? He was the greatest captain of all time after all.
 
What a man, Stevie Me! Has he figured out that this comical autobiography is making him look like the utter bellend that he probably is?
 
If i was writing a parody story for him, some of the stuff im reading is what I would put in as a piss take.

Yeah, during an interview to get attention for his book he called Roy Keane the best premier league era midfielder he ever faced. I dont know if he thinks he was better then Keane though... chances are big he does :lol:

"Roy Keane No 1. The rest? They’re all different," he stated.

"Frank (Lampard) is the best goalscoring midfielder, (Paul) Scholes the best footballer, Patrick Vieira the most difficult opponent... I loved playing against all of them."
 
An over confidence?!

The irony of that sentence considering it's reported that he bought a pub full of punters a round of drinks for "winning the league" in April that season.

Have a go at the manager for not picking him? What a self obsessed dick he really is :lol:

Gerrard was used as a half-time substitute....but was sent off just 38 seconds after stamping on Ander Herrera.

:lol::lol:
 

Rob, are those actual quotes? I'm having trouble differentiating between made up piss taking quotes and Gerrard's. :lol:
 
He obviously believes all the hype about him so much that he couldn't possibly make a mistake.. Someone elses fault always.
 
You know, never has a tongue in cheek nick-name been so apt and had so much unrealised truth behind it.

Stevie-me, indeed.
 
Anyone pirated a copy yet? This is comedy gold but i'll be damned if I give SG anymore money.
 
Guess what guys? I found an epub / azw3 of this.
PM me if you want it.

I could post a mediafire link but I'm sure the mods would be angry.

I'm still bitter about this result to this day, Liverpool effectively threw away that game with Gerrard the chief culprit.
In my language we say "lisontfo liyagicika" = "what goes around, comes around" :mad:
 
I actually quite liked the article linked to in the OP. He's a Liverpool fan and can't stand United, fair enough, but he showed a lot of respect for United as well. Even the Herrera tackle. It wasn't like Keano's on Haaland where Keane was positively gloating about the damage he had done. The United fans had successfully wound him right up and I think he wasn't proud of it.

Where are you from? Valyria?
 
would have done OK in a United team playing alongside Keane in midfield with David Beckham on the right, Ryan Giggs on the left and Ruud van Nistelrooy up front. I would have managed pretty well in that side.

nah you still would have found something to feck up no doubt
 
Never have the words "limited edition" held so true in this instance!
 
Sample from the end of each chapter:

I thought to myself: 'What the hell is Houllier/Capello/Rafa/Brendan/God doing?' I shook my head slowly, in full view of the tv cameras. Needless to say, I was proven right when we won nothing.
