Liverpool star Gerrard: I learned plenty watching Zidane, Gazza

Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard admits he's modelled a lot of his game on Zinedine Zidane.

Asked to nominate his favourite players, Gerrard says he's followed Zizou and Paul Gascoigne.

"My favourite player of all time is Zinedine Zidane," said the Scouser. "Just to see him play - the way he moves, the way he controls the ball, the way he passes - is an absolute privilege and there's so much you can learn from that guy, he's a genius with the ball.

"From an England point of view, there is Gazza. I like watching gifted players who are skilful, and Gazza is probably one of the most skilful English players there's even been, so I would pick those two."
