Steven Gerrard has confirmed his retirement from football at the age of 36.

The legendary former Liverpool midfielder – arguably, along with Kenny Dalglish, the greatest player in the club’s history – made over 850 appearances over a career spanning 19 years.

He won eight major trophies with Liverpool, including the European Cup in 2005, before joining LA Galaxy in 2015.

Gerrard is also England’s fourth most-capped player, having made 114 appearances for his country and captained the side at three of the six major tournaments at which he played.

He explained his decision to Gary Lineker.
