Steven Gerrard's autobiography offers an intimate look into the life of one of football's most iconic figures. [Born in Merseyside, Gerrard played for his local club Liverpool for most of his professional career, from 1998 to 2015, embodying the spirit of both the club and city.
The crowning moment of Gérard's career came in the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul. As captain, he inspired a remarkable second-half comeback against AC Milan, turning around a 3-0 deficit to win the trophy on penalties in what became known as the "Miracle of Istanbul."
In one of the most dramatic episodes of his career, Gerrard came close to joining Chelsea in July 2005, even submitting a transfer request. The book provides his first-hand account of this tumultuous period, which saw Chelsea make a British record bid of £32 million before Gerrard ultimately decided to stay at his boyhood club.
The autobiography details Gerrard's international career, including his experiences with England. He earned over 100 caps for his country and participated in three European Championships (2000, 2004, 2012) and three World Cups (2006, 2010, 2014).
By 2006, Gerrard had already established himself as one of the premier midfielders in world football. His accomplishments include winning the PFA Young Player of the Year award in 2001 and being named PFA Player of the Year in 2006, cementing his status as one of Liverpool's greatest ever players.
This autobiography offers readers unprecedented access to the thoughts and experiences of a player who appeared in 710 games and scored 186 goals for Liverpool, becoming a true club legend in the process.
