Imagine winning the Ballon d'Or at the age of 22. Imagine being a hero to so many kids who grew up watching you. Imagine scoring an insane goal in the World Cup at the age of only 18. And today you are a legend in nowhere. No one chants your name, no one gives you a standing ovation everytime you appear in any stadium, be it in the stadium of your last club, your boyhood club, the best club you ever played for, or the club where you finally got the medal you wanted. That's Michael Owen for you. I swear I honestly don't see how winning a medal beats loyalty in this one. 😅

[@andrewking_8]

Always tough with team loyalty because every single club will drop for get rid of a player if their form falls off. No matter who it is except the top 1%. So if we’re just talking the greats I get it. But for 99% of “club loyalty” from the club is only loyalty until their form drops. Great points from both guys but it’s a business for players as much as the teams

[@M22x745]

Imagine Phil Foden signing for Man United,.. would be absolutely sickening tbh 😂😂

[@Anthony-pw5gu]

That would be sickening 🤮

[@Channel_Math_and_Physics]

I think the idea is don't leave for a club that is a direct rival. Best is move to another country. Also, don't leave in bad terms(like Coutinho did, stop training etc)🙏 . Ronaldo and Suarez both respectfully left United and Liverpool and also celebrated against them, but no fan from those side would ever hate these two.

[@chrisdouglas2394]

Ronaldo is and always will be a legend at utd. As for suarez. . .

[@Laughitupfuzzball439]

What a player, one of the best, I would have still liked to have seen him at Real Madrid with some of the best Players in the World.

[@mrobrien2493]

Ashley Cole to Chelsea was quite bad to

[@LPQO1953]

Funny hearing John Terry and loyalty in the same sentence 😏

[@SonnyK248]

At the end of the day Gerrard playing for Liverpool back then would be the equivalent of say Kevin de Bruyne playing for Aston Villa. Of course all the clubs were after him because he was arguably the best center mid on the planet playing for the forth best team in the league and frankly for most of those years without him they wouldn't have even been a top six side. The reason Liverpool fans adore him so much is because on so many occasions its hard to count, when no one else on the pitch could be arsed, Gerrard would basically have to do everything on the pitch and grab a result from nothing. I've never seen a guy on so many occasions have to become a one man team and almost kill himself trying to get something out of a bad game.

[@jesperpedersen3430]

These academy one-club guys can’t get into their minds, that someone that came from another country has not been fed the same stories of rivalries from childhood as these two English guys have, and just don’t care that much.

[@Sk-po9dx]

Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard is my favourite English player. Both of them were world class, and could play in any team strengthen the team.

Steveie will win PL as a manager am sure, maybe not with aston villa but i can see him being a superstar manager like zidane

[@jakehyams8659]

How's that going? Lol

[@omario8822]

But......he handed in a transfer request.

[@luislizard2626]

Steve G was wanted by the all club in Europe my beloved inter Milan pushed very very hard to get him I think he even wobble a little but he was like Totti was for Rome Shame because I remember when I saw him the first time when he was 18 launching Mikel Owen with a 40 metres tops pin point perfect ball wearing adidas predator I just thought wow this kid is special !!!!! Absolute best midfielder in the world in 2000 decade

[@konzaros7482]

United fans will tell you Scholes was superior to Stevie because he could hit a tree yet here Gary is saying how he tried to get Gerrard to sign for United, tells you all you need to know

[@Ahmed-og2jm]

Not everyone is gonna be a club legend your career and family are the real things...fans can turn on you in a second

[@199019852007]

Figo from Barcelona to Real Madrid that was toxic

[@tomdoyle2272]

Young Gary Neville looked like Gareth keenan from the office

[@KevonLovelace]

I’m curious, if Gerrard had a terrible run of form at which his production dramatically dipped and it lasted for like, a season and a half, but his desire to prove himself to the club was still there….would Liverpool had kept him on indefinitely based on the fact that a year and a half ago he was incredible? Also adding into the mix, what if he was still viable in the transfer market at which they could stand to make a profit on his sale, would they sell him? I’m not sure 🤔

[@paulshuttleworth6261]

Look what people have said about De Gea at times, look what we did to Ole after only 3 months of being crap. At the start of the year we were going win the league, corners turned, back on track! 3 rubbish (really rubbish though) months, and he’s shown the door.

[@KevonLovelace]

@@paulshuttleworth6261 Yup exactly my thought. I think some fans forget just how fickle and disrespectful they and the club can be to their (sometimes former) star players, yet it's wrong if a player decides to ply his trade for another club because they're supposed to be loyal, even if the club as a whole is significantly underperforming and not showing any real ambition for more. Don't get me wrong, Liverpool was able to reach back-to-back Champions League finals, one of which they won, that's no small feat, but to go 20 plus years without a domestic title is embarrassing for a club of that pedigree. It's great to have the desire to bring trophies to the team you supported as a kid, but for Steven to have to play his ass off year after year trying to drag Liverpool towards being a champion in the Prem, only to come up short time and time again, I'm sorry, but he had every right to seriously entertain other options.

[@louiem2]

Really good points, regarding your later career after you stop playing from Neville here. Footballers that do move from one major rival to another rival dont tend to have that 'legend' status among neutral fans once they stop playing.

[@leesmith5080]

Neville showing where he learnt them kane golf course tricks from.

[@kJ922-h3j]

1:57 well yeah look at the horrendous song spurs fans came up with after that

[@ChaseYNWA]

while many things been said about this man, Steven Gerrard... i think only 1 truly matter... He chose love for Liverpool over anything else... money, glory, trophies, anything... him choosing to stay in a below average club at that point, yet giving his everything and playing like that... and this was during a period where his coach didnt really liked him, can u imagine that? How can you not love Stevie G?

[@craigbingham324]

Would rather gerrards career than owens any day of the week pretty sure owen would rather have stevies too now looking back

[@buxycat]

"Gerrard didn't win the League." Not as a player, no. But maybe he will win the League as Liverpool manager one day.

[@saint4life09]

He won the league in an unbeaten season with Rangers as manager.

[@buxycat]

@@saint4life09 It was more Gerrard not winning the League (as in EPL) as a Liverpool player that was being discussed, hence my comment. As a Liverpool fan, I was semi following Gerrard's time as Rangers manager, thank you for reminding me it was an unbeaten season

[@Jimutv]

Do you think grealish will regret leaving villa, i know he will win medals and play at a high level in europe at city but if he stayed there his whole career i dont think there would be a club legend like it again in football from the same city at a boyhood club.

[@Simeon-the-Magnificent]

He'll go back one day. Not this summer one after

[@Jimutv]

Yeah and the fans will take to him again i know it but it will never be the same.

[@mitchaelhollingsworth1698]

maybe. but grealish moving to city gave aston villa a hundred million pounds. that is valuable too in a way. countinho leaving liverpool allowed them to get alison and vvd and that helped them win champions league and the premier league. lukaku leaving gave inter a 100 mill when they desperately needed it after lost revenue because of covid 19. grealish, if he had stayed his whole career would have been a club legend. at city he probably won't be because there are kdb, sterling, silva, foden, gundogan and mahrez that all do what grealish does. in my opinion his function at city is like a whetting stone. city bringing in top players helps prevent the current ones from becoming complacent. city is a top club and the mental strength and discipline required is different than being at a mid table club where the expectations are different. the high price tag hanging over grealish won't help either. but rodri took a season to bed in, maybe this will just take time. i hope he comes good, but we shall see.

[@Jack-jb4qd]

Trent Alexander Arnold might hit that status? Maybe Rashford or Foden?

[@Jimutv]
