Happy birthday to Steven Gerrard, 40 years old today!

Here’s a thread of great Gerrard goals:

An early belter, back to New Year’s Day 2001. Look at the state of that pitch! Great hit though.

His greatest moment? Scoring a goal like this in the last moments to take the FA Cup final to extra time and going on to win? Now that’s Roy of the Rovers stuff.

Not much variety to this thread, just a collection of long-range absolute belters. And they really are belters.

Brilliant.

A pretty nice way to open your England account. A great goal on the way to that 5-1 win in Germany.
