Liverpool skipper Gerrard tells kids: Don't be like me!

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has warned youngsters about the dangers of being one-footed.

The England midfielder made fun of himself for missing an open goal against Belarus.

Gerrard was clean through in the final minute but managed to hit a post with the goal gaping.

But at least he was able to laugh about it afterwards.

The Scouser admitted: "It was a sitter. I should have used my left and rolled it in.

"I thought I'd done everything and it was a certain goal.

"If there were children watching, the important thing is to keep practising with your weak foot as well as your strong one and use it from time to time."
