10 Things Steven Gerrard Wants Liverpool Fans To Forget

9. He Set Theirry Henry Up For The Winner When He Played France

Lauded for his inspirational play and lead-by-example attitude, Gerrard became the model image of an English club captain in the latter half of the 00s. However while club colleagues like Djimi Traore and Emile Heskey became notorious at Anfield for their blunders, Gerrard's dependable reputation didn't prevent him making a complete hash of things from time to time as well. With England on the verge of a historic win over France in the group stages of Euro 2004, their proverbial hearts were proverbially broken when Zinedine Zidane floated a glorious freekick beyond David James. Deflated, England's players trudged back to the centre circle to resume the game, then almost immediately from the kick off Steven Gerrard played a ball back to the goalkeeper without looking what was around him - putting Thierry Henry of all people through on goal. David James upended him, a penalty was converted, and England had somehow snatched a defeat from the jaws of victory. Nice one Stevie.
