Steven Gerrard has Retired From Playing Football

After one of the most successful career in UK football history, Steven Gerrard has retired from professional sports.

Steven Gerrard first joined Liverpool FC in November of 1998 as a last-minute substitute for Vegard Heggem. Nerves and a lack of experience were tough for the Whiston native, who struggled to find much success in his first two seasons. Gerrard recalls this time as a learning experience, telling the Guardian, “I was out of position and out of my depth.”

Eventually, Steven began to get more comfortable playing in games, and became a regular fixture in central midfield. Over the next 16 years, Gerrard became one of the most recognizable faces in UK football, and made UK gambling news by winning 114 caps and captained the national team during the 2010 and 2014 World Cup.

As of just a few days ago, Steven Gerrard has retired. He will leave behind an amazing legacy that young players should aspire to. Now, let's take a look at the current team's betting odds set by Bet365
