GERRARD REMAINS IN CUSTOM PREDATOR X
We spotted Steven Gerrard during training for Liverpool’s Europa League’s clash with Napoli in a pair of the new Black/White/Electricity colourway Adidas Predator X boots. We wondered whether the Reds’ skipper would opt for this new colourway or whether he would revert to his custom MiAdidas Black/Gold/Red colourway.
Well the talismanic midfielder started on the bench for the Reds and was wearing the Black/White/Electricity colourway during his warm ups:
Liverpool were down 1-0 when Roy Hodgson called on his England ace and Gerrard certainly did the job required as he hit a hat-trick in the space of just 14 minutes. Gerrard is famous for his exploits in the Liverpool jersey and this will go down as another. The interesting part of it all was the fact that he had changed back into his bespoke Black/Gold/Red colourway and didn’t opt for the new Black/White/Electricity colurway. Maybe he was just loosening them up for this weekend’s big game against Chelsea.
GERRARD GETS WAXED
With Liverpool’s season as up and down as it’s been, Rafa would have been wishing he had Steven Gerrard(s) to rely on. Well thanks to Madame Tussauds he could have one on the pitch and one on the bench.
The Liverpool captain recently joined David Beckham in wax. After 300 precise measurements, a truck load of photographs and 4 months of labour, £150,000 has been spent on making the life-like wax model. Complete with Gerrard’s Liverpool kit and trademark Adidas Predator boots, the giant candle is the second footballer to enter the museum.
“It’s an absolute thrill to have my very own figure at Madame Tussauds.” said Gerrard.
