Liverpool striker Luis Suarez has hailed his skipper Steven Gerrard.

Suarez rates the midfielder the best he's played with.

He told Liverpoolfc.com: "I've got huge respect for him.

"He's a real legend at this club, for many reasons; the time he's been at the club, for all what he has given for the club, for the great teammate he is, for all the years and all those 600 games he's played here, which is by no means an easy thing to achieve at a club like Liverpool, and for his modesty and the classy person he is.

"I think he is a player for whom you have to show enormous respect. He has always shown utmost respect to the club and has always remained here out of his love for the club, and for me he is the best midfielder I've ever seen play or been able to play alongside."
