The first of many listings for Steven George Gerrard, MBE, not because - as in most cases - he changed clubs, but simply because the Limited Editions sell out so quickly. We are on something like Gerrard 6 now, with no signs of his popularity waning.
Gerrard made his Liverpool first-team debut on 29 November 1998 in a match against Blackburn Rovers as a last minute substitute. He made thirteen appearances in his debut season, filling in the midfield position for injured captain Jamie Redknapp and playing on the right wing, but he scarcely contributed in the short on-pitch time he received, due to nervousness affecting his play.
Gerrard partnered Redknapp in central midfield for the 1999–00 season. After starting the derby match against Everton on the bench, he replaced Fowler in the second half but received his first career dismissal for a late foul. Later that season, Gerrard scored his first senior goal in a 4–1 victory over Sheff Wed.
In 2000–01, he made fifty starts in all competitions and scored ten goals as Liverpool won the League, FA and EUFA Cups. Gerrard became Liverpool captain in October 2003, and chose to extend his contract at the club, signing a new four-year deal.
