There were hundreds of references to Gerrard’s ability as a player – which while in poor tasty, aren’t offensive per se – but far more concerning were all the messages about the looks and appearance of his daughter, Lourdes.

In a show of solidarity, fans of all stripes have been rallying around the 36-year-old with messages of support.

Here is a taste of what’s been said on Twitter:

Whats wrong with any parent posting a photograph of how proud they are of their child grow up people.
