Steven Gerrard's Perfect Response To Sir Alex Ferguson Saying He Wasn't 'A Top, Top Player'

Image
New Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard had a very honest response to Sir Alex Ferguson not rating him as highly as many others did. In his 2013 autobiography, Fergie wrote: "I'm one of the few who felt Gerrard was not a top, top player." The Liverpool legend was asked about those surprising comments during an appearance on The Clare Balding Show a few years back and admitted he was "a little but gutted" but "won't sleep lose over it".

Jack Grealish is featured alongside Raheem Sterling and Phil Foden in the promotional material for the third kit, which City described as a “bold new progressive” top.
