Steven Gerrard won’t rely on Liverpool reputation

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard will leave this summer with his reputation secured as the best player in the club’s history but he admits that will count for nothing if he wants to return in an official capacity.

The 34-year-old plays at Anfield for the final time on today before his move to Los Angeles Galaxy in the summer but questions have already been asked about when he will be back.

There is the potential for him to return on loan during Major League Soccer’s close-season but more likely is a role on the coaching staff once his playing days are over.
