Steven Gerrard

I listen to the phone-ins on the way home and I know how the fans feel.

To me it's the best trophy you can win and to bring it back for all them fans that have supported us right through would be something special.

I think we've got a lot players in the squad who are more suited to European football at the moment.

But I it doesn't matter who scores the goals so long as we win.

There's no doubt that the squad needs strengthening if we are to get back up among the top three because they are operating on another level to us at the moment.

I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on... It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact.

I was always determined to make it as a footballer, but if things hadn't worked out, I'd have maybe followed my dad into the building industry.

The Champions League is the competition everyone wants to be in.

I'm a fan myself and I'm frustrated just as much as them when we get beat.

Even now I can say I'd love to finish my career here, and then stay in the game after that.

I'm playing second fiddle to Justin Bieber - Bieber Fever is sweeping our house, and my girls have made it clear I'm no longer their favourite man.

If other people want to talk about my future I can't control that.

We are Liverpool Football Club and the expectations are so high.

It's too easy to blame other people in football.

But I think the Champions League Final puts a massive pressure on every player and the manager, but we're enjoying the pressure and hopefully we can go there and win it.

It was difficult knowing one of your cousins had lost his life.

I've got absolutely no intention of ever going to play at another club.

The fans have played a massive part in getting us to where we are, but the job's not finished.

Football is all about winning things as a team but it's also important to pick up individual awards along the way.

In football, the hero and legend status is given out far too easily for me.

If you don't play well, you have a bad game or a nightmare you know that the amount of coverage is worldwide.

Dont try to beat the goalkeeper. Try to destroy the goalkeeper.

This club is all about winning trophies and we've got a chance of bringing the greatest trophy of them all back to Anfield, so it means a great deal obviously.

107 caps isn't bad for someone who isn't 'a top, top player', is it? I never expected to get that amount of caps. When I made my debut, I set myself the personal target of trying to get 50 caps and score 10 goals if I could. So to have 107 is something I am really proud of, particularly being among those names.

Hopefully it'll give us a bit of luck on the night, but I'm not really a superstitious person.

It will be a dream come true if I can go there and lift it.

I'm born in Liverpool, I'm a Liverpool supporter.

The odds were against us, but we deserve to be where we are.

I think every player listens out for his name being sung and it's something I really enjoy.

Grilled salmon and brown pasta works for me every time.

Against Juventus we were massive underdogs, so to beat them was fantastic.

When I leave the car park at Melwood, I try and become a completely different person. I try to get away from it. You have got to. Otherwise you end up like Jamie Carragher - obsessed!

I think it all goes down to who plays the better football on the night.

I share their frustration at times and I get down just like them when we suffer a bad result.
