10. Brendan Rodgers - “He is an iconic figure for this football club. His status and everything he has gained in the game has been through Liverpool Football Club. I have seen him from the outside but from the inside working with him as a man, as a player, he is a wonderful role model for everyone here.”

8. Jamie Carragher - “He carries himself with understated authority, preferring to lead by example rather than walk around like he is God’s gift to the England shirt. He’s never been big-headed or arrogant. Despite his enormous talent, he has never behaved in a fashion to suggest he felt superior to anyone else in the squad.”

None of the players who’ve played alongside him would dispute he’s the best the club has ever had, and I would hope none of the managers would, either.”

5. Alex Gerrard - “He’s a fantastic husband, a great dad and a brilliant ambassador for English football. We’ve been married for five years, but together for 10 years and we’re the best of friends. We don’t need to go out and spend loads of money to have a good time. We love unwinding on the sofa in our trackie bottoms and watching the film Bridesmaids on DVD when the kids have gone to bed. He’ll kill me for saying this but we have little pet names for each other. I actually call him ‘Pet’ all the time.”
