Gerrard story

[Cunny]

A colleague of my wifes won a Radio City competition to go to some charity bash that Gerrard, Dalglish and other scouse glitteratti were at. This lad has missed one game home and away in ten years. This was Eindhoven away this season.

He took a mate who got talking to Gerrard. Gerrard asked him if he went to the match, the lad said he went when he could but his mate had this amazing record of only missing one game in years.

 

So, my wife's colleague is talking away to someone and suddenly he gets a tap on his shoulder and it's Gerrard, he goes 'We really missed you in Eindhoven!". The lad couldn't believe it. Gerrard thanked him for his loyal support, he was at pains to say this was not lip service. He said it was for guys like him he played, who travelled all round the country and Europe. He said sometimes when maybe he's not feeling 100%, it's the amazing support they get away from home that really inspires him.

 

Reflects well on our captain and a decent story amid all the doom and gloom.

Cracking story, that. And totally in the character of the man.

I like hearing things like that, rather than everyone whinging on about players and their bank balances etc.

The big question is though. DID YOUR MATE ANALYSE THE BODY LANGUAGE?

 

Nah, seriously it's good to hear stuff like that. Shows they do care about supporters.

[Coyler]

That was a brilliant thing to say.

I got this image of the lad turning into a giggly schoolgirl when Gerrard said all that.

 

Good on them both though.

What was his feeble excuse for missing Eindhoven then, the fecking part timer?

He had to set up Gerrard's one-liner.

 

Stevie paid him a fortune.

it's refreshing to see after alot of "the world is gonna end cause were gonna loose the league..." posts

 

Nice to hear

And we've only lost 1 game in the last 4....

 

Imagine if we ever lose 4 in a row.

Ok, but would a GOOD captain say that?

Surely it's obvious what it means, he's going to Chelsea

Probably bought a ticket, got the credit, then magically "couldn't go" so he sold it on. Guarentee the part-timing f***** will be there in Athens.

 

Seriously though, well in to Stevie and for all the stick he gets about apperently not giving a s*** about us, I still remember Benfica at home when some of our lads were slowly sulking off towards the tunnel and Stevie grabbed a few of them and made them applaud the Kop. And we deserved it because we were f***ing fantastic that night, as any Benfica fan will tell you.

 

Admist all the NOTW debates and people calling him an egotistical prick etc, I am made up to read stories like this which give me ammunition to disagree with them.

Don't let sensible things get in the way of a good Gerrard bashing....everyone knows hes a money grabbing-good-for-nothing-selfish etc etc etc...

HE TURNED ME INTO A FROG!
