Liverpool vs Manchester United: Steven Gerrard once wore a Bryan Robson kit, and his father ‘went ballistic’
“Cut my veins open and I bleed Liverpool red,” Steven Gerrard once remarked.This is a Scouser who grew up to captain his boyhood club to European Cup glory – he’s an Anfield legend.So you may be surprised to learn he once wore a Bryan Robson Manchester United shirt.3

Bryan Robson played 461 times for Man United between 1981 and 1994, scoring 99 goals. He also won 90 England caps and scored 26 times for his country

There’s no love lost between the two clubs, who resume their rivalry on Sunday and so talkSPORT.com opened up Gerrard’s autobiography to read him recall the time he sent his dad ‘ballistic’ with his choice of football kit.“A mate of mine owned this Robson top, the old blue-and-white one with dashes on it,” he wrote.We were kicking about on Ironside [the appropriately named road he grew up on] and I asked him whether I could be Robson for a while.I slipped out of my Liverpool shirt, and put the Robson one on.3

It is a lovely kit to be fair

It felt fantastic.I wore it for an hour, charging all over, flying into tackles, scoring brave goals, pretending I was Robson.Because the shirt had Robsons name on it, I forgot about the United bit.I didnt seem like treachery to Liverpool, more homage to an England god.”Robson is considered an idol to many Three Lions fans of a certain age, having captained the team in 65 of his 90 appearances. Sir Alex Ferguson called him a ‘human marvel who pushed himself through every imaginable limit,” but that mattered little to Gerrard snr. Unfortunately, dad looked out the window and went ballistic,” he continued.Get inside now! he screamed. Scarcely through the door, I ran into a right good grilling.3What the hell are you playing at, wearing a Manchester United shirt? he asked.But dad, its Bryan Robsons shirt, I explained.Dad couldnt have cared less. You should know better, he said.It was a United strip, and dad wasnt having any sonof his dragging the Gerrard name through the Huyton gutter.What would the neighbours think? Honest to God, I thought I was going to have to move house!I was only a baby but I was convinced dad would kick me out for putting on that United shirt.3

Steven Gerrard is one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players

The telling off certainly did the trick, not that there was any doubt about who he’d want to play for.Gerrard played 710 times for Liverpool, scoring 1986 times and winning the Champions League, UEFA Cup, two FA Cups and three League Cups between 1998 and 2015.

Respect from Fergie

“If you were looking for the player you would replace [former United captain Roy] Keane with, it would be Gerrard, without question.“He has become the most influential player in England, bar none. More than [Patrick] Vieira.“Not that Vieira lacks anything, but I think that Gerrard does more for his team than Vieira does, and has way more to his game.“Ive watched him quite a lot. To me, Gerrard is Keane.“Everywhere the ball is, he seems to be there. Hes got that unbelievable engine, desire, determination.“Anyone would love to have Gerrard in their team.
