Gerrard a Liverpool great, says Dalglish
Steven Gerrard deserves to be classed as one of the great Liverpool midfielders of all-time, according to Kenny Dalglish.
Dalglish is thrilled the club captain is staying close to his roots.
Gerrard has decided to remain with the Champions League contenders when it was widely expected he would move to Chelsea.
Dalglish said: “Steven Gerrard is as good a midfield player as Liverpool have had throughout their history.
“He can be mentioned with Graeme Souness, Terry McDermott, Ray Kennedy and Ian Callaghan.
"He is right up there with the best of them. The fact he is staying is a massive boost for the fans. The bottom line is that it would have been very, very serious for Liverpool if Steven Gerrard had gone.”
Dalglish added: “But I don’t think there is any doubt as to just how much Steven Gerrard loves Liverpool Football Club.
“Even allowing for some truth in the speculation I don’t think that undermines his feelings for Liverpool in any way.”
