Steven Gerrard is a hero to millions, not only as the inspirational captain of Liverpool FC, but as a key member of the England team. Here, for the first time, he tells the story of his lifelong obsession with football, in an honest and revealing book which captures the extraordinary camaraderie, the soul-destroying tensions and the high-octane thrills of the modern game as never before. Born in the Liverpool suburb of Huyton in 1980, Steven first joined Liverpool as a YTS trainee and played his first game for the first team aged just 18. His career has gone from strength to strength ever since and he is now the team's captain and its lynchpin. Liverpool's incredible comeback in the Champions' League final in Istanbul in May 2005, recovering from a 3-goal deficit against AC Milan to win on penalties, is testament to the amazing power Gerrard has over his team. His presence on the pitch is a force to be reckoned with and places him amongst the very first rank of players in the world.

Steven Gerrard expects Croatia to perform at Wembley tonight. The bookmakers do not, authorities such as Arsene Wenger do not. Only poor teams blame the pich for their inept performances. No one in the England camp complained about the plastic pitch in Moscow. Now Bilic is having a go at the Wembley surface, showing a weakness that even McLaren was savvy enough to avoid prior to the Russian game. Croatia could not earn a point in Macedonia to guarantee qualification.
