Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard has declared their summer global tour a great success - on and off the pitch.

Off the pitch the Reds have been overwhelmingly supported every step of the way and Gerrard considers the trip to have been a resounding success for a number of reasons.

The skipper told LFC TV: "We couldn't ask for more. It has been a really good trip.

"It's been very successful from obviously a financial point of view - the turnout we've had at every stadium has been superb - but for fitness reasons and also team spirit."
