Liverpool Legend’s Childhood Fashion Faux Pas…
Ever wondered what would happen if your dad caught you wearing your arch-rival’s colours? Just ask Steven Gerrard! The Liverpool legend confessed how, as a kid, he donned a Manchester United shirt and nearly sparked a family scandal. Despite his illustrious loyalty to Liverpool, Gerrard had an early brush with fashion betrayal thanks to his fascination with Bryan Robson.
Picture this: young Stevie swapping his beloved Liverpool shirt for a Manchester United one during a friendly neighborhood game. As Gerrard himself recalls, it was all fun and games until his dad caught wind of the wardrobe switcheroo and went utterly ballistic! He describes his father’s reactions as if he’d just walked in on him blasting Beatles records in a Rolling Stones household. Poor Stevie thought he’d be shipped off to Timbuktu for the betrayal!
Although he once flirted with the enemy’s attire, Gerrard’s career truly blossomed in Liverpool red. With a towering career of over 700 appearances for the club, his youthful foibles have long been overshadowed. Post-football adventures have seen him dabble in managing teams across the world, most recently stepping away from the heat of the Saudi sun. But back in Liverpool, they’ll always have a chuckle about that brief Manchester fling!
