Liverpool defender Dan Agger is proud to be the club's vice-captain.
The 28-year-old is determined to build on the lessons he has learned while wearing the Danish armband by analysing the work of a man he considers to be 'the best' example.
Asked for his reaction to being named Gerrard's deputy, Agger told Liverpoolfc.com: "It's a difficult feeling to describe.
"Not many people have the success to become a professional footballer and not many people get the vice-captaincy, so that's a big, big thing for me, of course. But it's so difficult to describe.
"I always have responsibility, no matter if you're vice-captain or not. You have to always be there, always be at the front and, of course, try to help some of the young players.
"Now I have been here for almost eight years and Stevie has been the captain all the way. He is an amazing captain: he is the one I will look at.
"Not only in his football skills, because that speaks for itself, but the person he is and the way he treats people - he's just the best."
