Liverpool Fans Vote Steven Gerrard as Their Greatest Ever Player

Liverpool fans voted Steven Gerrard their greatest ever player, closing a long clubwide exercise to rank the top 100 across 134 years. The process drew on supporter sentiment, historical records and internal evaluation, with 1.4 million votes cast by fans, former players, journalists and a club panel, then weighed against more than a century of data. Gerrard finished first and was followed by Kenny Dalglish, Ian Rush, Mohamed Salah and John Barnes. The article highlights Gerrard’s 17-year first-team spell, more than 700 appearances and 186 goals, and points to his defining role in the 2005 Champions League final. Gerrard said he did not expect to top the list, acknowledging recency bias. He also noted Dalglish remains his personal number one, citing how he grew up watching him before later inheriting the responsibility of the shirt.
