A Quote by Emre Can

Steven Gerrard doesn't play because his name is Steven Gerrard. He plays because of what he brings in terms of performances. If that wasn't the case, he wouldn't play. He is as good as he was, and I have learned a lot from him.

I'd have to say Steven Gerrard has been the biggest influence in my career so far. I watched him when I was younger and then to go and play and train with him every day is massive for me, and still is now.

Jordan Henderson

I even used to play as Liverpool on the PlayStation on 'FIFA' when I was 18 or 19, as Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, and Xabi Alonso.

Mohamed Salah

Steven Gerrard - at his peak, he was outstanding both attacking and defensively.

Gareth Barry

If it fits in with my career, it will be a challenge for me to play for a MLS team. If that would be Steven Gerrard's club, that would be very special.

Ryan Babel

I'm not a Steven Gerrard supporter.

Demba Ba

People sometimes ask me what my biggest regret is in football and it's not being able to have that 'Steven Gerrard' moment where he's playing for the team that he loves in terms of where he's from.

Jermaine Jenas

Steven Gerrard is the best player I've ever played with.

Luis Suarez

I don't think I'll ever be another Steven Gerrard, to be honest!

Jordan Henderson

As a player, you get to the stage where you realise that you are not 25 anymore - and can't play the way you used to. The intelligent players adapt - and Steven Gerrard has the ability to do that. He is an excellent passer of the ball, possesses an intelligent football brain, and has great vision.

Andrea Pirlo

I don't think anyone can replace Steven Gerrard, be it Messi or whoever.

Emre Can

Steven Gerrard would be the captain of my World XI dream team.

Francesco Totti

For me, I can't see Liverpool without him because he's just been there since I was a kid. I had him on the back of my shirt. He's always been on the team every time I've watched Liverpool. It's going to be really weird next season, a Steven Gerrard-less Liverpool side.

Katarina Johnson-Thompson

Steven Gerrard was someone I looked up to massively. I'd always try to copy him, right down to the boots he was wearing. It was his attitude on the pitch that stood out - you could really see how much he hated losing.
