Gerrard loved being with Liverpool fans at Aston Villa

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard loved his day out with the fans on the final day of the season at Aston Villa.

Gerrard spent the day with the away fans and loved the experience.

"I was a fan for a day," he told the Daily Express. "Carra [Jamie Carragher] had done it a few years ago and I'd had a few letters saying I should go to an away game. It was an eye-opener for me to get in among them. For a young player in our squad, or maybe one of the foreign lads, to have a day like that would really help them.

"Fans absolutely adore the players. Everything is about the players for them, so for a player to give up a day, mix with the fans and give a little back...well, there's no harm in that.

"I am not putting pressure on anyone, but it is important for the players to have that link with the fans. If this club is going to be successful, everybody needs to stick together."
