Star player
Steven Gerrard is the kind of all-action, goalscoring midfielder anyone would want on their team, and enters the World Cup on the back of a superlative season in which he almost single-handedly won the FA Cup for Liverpool.
Gerrard manages to be skilful and aggressive, passes long and accurately, and can shoot hard and from distance.
Arguably now at his peak, the Liverpool skipper is no doubt keen to make up for the fact that injury kept him out of the 2002 finals, and if he gets the chance to operate in an attacking role rather than at the foot of the midfield diamond, he will relish the chance to run at defences.
Fancy That!
