LIVERPOOL skipper Steven Gerrard believes he has signed his last Liverpool contract. The Anfield inspiration still has four years remaining on his current deal, but admitted yesterday that he may decide to hang up his boots by 2013. The midfielder will be 33 by then, and he will take great pride from the fact that should he call time on his illustrious career at that point, he will have spent his entire career at Anfield.
“I will be 33 at the end of my contract in 2013 and I don't know if I will go any further,” he said.
“If I do retire, then I will know that from the start to the end of my career I only had one club. And I don't want to think about wearing any other shirt in the future.
“I was close to leaving in the past, maybe twice, most notably in 2005. That year we (Liverpool) were a long way off the Premier League title and Chelsea's interest turned my head.
“It was a difficult moment for me. However, now when I look back I am very happy that I chose to stay here. It has given me real pride.”
The only medal still missing from Gerrard's cabinet is a Premier League winner's medaland he added: “I believe the experience of defeat that we felt last season will be useful to us next term.”
