I Love The Quote From Stevie

Sky- Gerrard reveals title desire
Steven Gerrard - A Year In My Life, Sky One, Tuesday June 6, 9.50pm.

Gerrard was twice courted by big-spending Chelsea and seemed destined to join Jose Mourinho's men in both the summer of 2004 and 2005.

Despite lifting the UEFA Champions League on that glorious night in Istanbul just a month or so earlier, it seemed Gerrard was on his way to West London to join Chelsea after a misunderstanding over his proposed new contract with Liverpool.

At the last minute though, the Liverpool skipper changed his mind, saying that winning medals in anything other than the famous red shirt of Liverpool would mean nothing to him, and his family and friends who had convinced him to stay with his hometown club.

Gerrard has now lifted the Champions League and FA Cup with Liverpool, but is desperate to bring the league title back to Anfield.

"Coming back 30, 32 years of age with medals from another club, who have I got to show them to?" he says in Sky One's Steven Gerrard - A Year In My Life.

"Who'd be interested in seeing them?

"Whereas I wanted to stay even if it's to just win one Premiership with Liverpool, everyone will want to see it, it will mean more to myself and the people around me."

Gerrard also reveals that Reds boss Rafa Benitez entrusted him and fellow Scouser Jamie Carragher with the suggestion of bringing Kop legend Robbie Fowler back to the club, with their input helping the manager make up his mind.

"The manager asked to speak to me and Jamie Carragher about the situation and asked us what we thought and we gave our honest opinion and it was obviously private and confidential between the four walls of his office and, a couple of weeks later, Robbie was there in a Liverpool shirt and it was brilliant to see."
