Hello and welcome to The Rest Is Football with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and me, Gary Lineker. We've got another episode of Premier League Greats, the moments that made them. Well, this week's episode is about someone that you two have probably played... against possibly with Alan not sure come to it in a minute but a certain well one of the great midfielders of the Premier League era some people would say the best of the Premier League era we can have that debate once again a Liverpool legend a certain Steven Gerrard Stevie G he's the best You've always said that. He's the best.
All round. Defending, attacking, passing, scoring goals, crosses, passing, everything. He's a complete midfielder, without doubt. And all these people who say, oh, he's never won a Premier League. Yeah, but look at some of the teams he played in.
Yeah, that wasn't the greatest Liverpool era, was it?
No, no. He won the Champions League, dragged them through that. He's just phenomenal. He's unbelievable. Playing against him and playing with him, played with him for England as well. In training, he was the best by far. There's always levels and he was just above everything. Rio Ferdinand and JT could see there was different level. But as a midfielder, I never played with Scholes, so I don't know. And everyone talks about Scholes.
Scholes was a passer, wasn't he? Probably the greatest passer of the football in that era. Lampard as well. But Lampard would get more goals. Different, different. They're all different. And that's why I always think this argument is a little bit... It's almost impossible.
Almost impossible. When you talk about passing, by the way, in schools, Gerrard was unbelievable in passing. I mean, the way he used to move it and ping it. He crossed over slightly, didn't he? Crossed over slightly with England, yeah. He was in Euro 2000, made his debut just before Euro 2000. But that was obviously a tournament that we didn't do very well in. So it probably wasn't a great start to his England career. But... I couldn't go up against the argument that you think he's the best because he could do almost everything a midfielder needs. The engine, up and down. Goals when his team needed it. Important goals. I mentioned the Champions League FA Cup final. Yes.
Leader. really nice guy as well I've worked with him quite a lot for BT Sport when I did the Champions League and he was a pundit during that quite a lot and he really knows the game as well he's quite I mean obviously he went into management didn't he I wonder if he'll try and bounce back I suspect he might want to have another pop at it because he did particularly well at Rangers didn't he quite I thought he was a bit unlucky. The Villa, they went quite early. I think it was his first really sticky spell and he was out, but we're here to focus more on his playing career. I think we'll start early on, really, in 2005, because he'd had a lot of speculation, hadn't he, about whether he was going to leave for Chelsea.
I think Mourinho wanted to sign him.
Gerrard. Gerrard! Oh, what about that? !
That was really special from the Liverpool captain.
