Michael Owen on Steven Gerrard: I have played alongside some of the greatest footballers of my generation, but there is only one ex-team-mate I would rate higher than Steven Gerrard. The biggest compliment I can give him is he is second only to Zinedine Zidane in terms of his world-class status. There are some who argue Gerrard cannot be rated so highly because he does not have the medal haul to compare with, say, the Manchester United players. It is preposterous to judge a player’s ability based on his trophy collection. There are dozens of players who have several Premier League winners’ medals who are not fit to lace Gerrard’s boots. I cannot think of any world-class player who has been more loyal than Gerrard given the offers he has declined. With all due respect to the United lads who came through the ranks and became one-club players, they knew at the start of every season they would either win the league or go close.
