Liverpool’s greatest ever midfielder is departing…
Our legendary captain Steven Gerrard will be leaving the club at the end of the season in the expiration of his contract…
Here’s how fans and neutrals reacted to the news online…
#Gerrard is one of my all time favourite players. So many stand-out performances. Doubt we’ll see such loyalty again in years to come. #LFC

"Cut my veins open and I bleed Liverpool red" Steven Gerrard, 2006. That won't change when he leaves Anfield this summer. #Gerrard #lfc

All I can say is thanks for the memories Steven. Let's send him out with a trophy #Gerrard

Always thought #Gerrard would end his playing days at LFC like Carra. Don't know how it's come to this. Just a sad sad day.
