The Liverpool legend Steven Gerald put an end to his career and it has been topic of much discussion as players and managers have been having their say on it.

“I asked him, ‘What great competition have you played and where do people remember you?’ It wasn’t [Zinedine] Zidane.

“For me, he was a player like everyone else. He had to keep up well, and play as he knew how to do, but don’t go to the coach to report what happens in the dressing room.”

He went on to say the Liverpool skipper was scared of him

Diouf believes Gerrard became scared of him, adding: “He knows that I don’t mince words.
