My Story

By Steven Gerrard

Book Overview

'I knew the meaning of glory - just as I knew the despair of defeat.' He's the third most capped player in the history of English football. He is perhaps the greatest, certainly the most dedicated, British sportsman of his generation. But who is Steven Gerrard? Playing over 700 games for his beloved Liverpool and making 114 appearances for England, Steven Gerrard is a sportsman unmatched in his devotion to his teammates and unchallenged as one of the country's greatest role models. But what made him who he is? And how did he survive so long at the top of the toughest league in the world? In My Story Gerrard speaks fully and frankly about his extraordinary playing career, opening up about the key matches and moments to give us the view form on the pitch. Whether it is Liverpool's astonishing 2005 Champions League final turnaround or his many World Cup and European campaigns, he gives exhilarating accounts of the action mid-tackle, of winning - and losing - in front of tens of thousands of screaming fans. Above all, this is an incredible and rare personal story, telling us what it is like to stay loyal to one club through good and bad - to play on come what may. Bold, brave and honest to a fault, Steven Gerrard's My Story is the last word from the kind of player they don't make any more - a man as true to his word and his club as he is to himself.
