I'm not gonna go into the whole out of Towner crap. Because it is exactly that. People can show passion from 20,000 miles away. But I believe Gerrard is most loved because he is home grown. Other people from outside Liverpool may not have him as their best player (which is fine, it's an opinion) they may choose someone completely different. Suarez Alonso Patrik Berger. It doesn't matter. But welshy won't ever like Gerrard, maybe because of how highly regarded he is. whereas a lad who only wanted to do what Gerrard has done for Liverpool idolises him.
There is a reason he will go down as our best player despite not winning as much. He was ours. He was born here. He said it himself that a league title anywhere else would have meant nothing.
It's not all Stevie Me, welshy you're the only one that calls him that. The rest of us just wanna see our former player do well.
