Gerrard: I am no Liverpool legend

Liverpool ace Steven Gerrard has dismissed claims he is a club legend.

Gerrard played his 500th game for the club in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Blackburn Rovers.

He told liverpoolfc.tv: "I don't think I am a Liverpool legend. You can only call players legends when they've finished and you look back on their careers and they have been successful or a top player throughout. A lot of people give the legendary status out too early for my liking. I don't see myself as a legend - I see the likes Dalglish, Hansen and Rush as legends.

"They have been there and done it. Hopefully one day I can look back on what I've achieved and can say I'm a part of the legends at this club, but I certainly wouldn't put myself in that bracket now."
