Steven Gerrard scored his first Liverpool goal 24 years ago TODAY in a 4-1 win

Tuesday marked the 24th anniversary of Steven Gerrard's first ever goal for Liverpool, which came in a 4-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday way back in 1999.

Gerrard went on to be perhaps the greatest player in Liverpool history, and arguably the best midfielder of all-time in the Premier League, finishing his Reds career in 2015 with 186 goals in 710 games.

The Al-Ettifaq manager was also later named club captain, as well as taking on the armband for the Three Lions.

A box-to-box midfielder for the most part, he was famously capable of playing in almost any position on the field, adept both in defence and attack, and scored some noteworthy goals for the Reds.

However, although it might not have been the Champions League or FA Cup final, Gerrard got off the mark for his boyhood club in typically impressive fashion at Anfield against The Owls.



Picking the ball up on the edge of the centre circle, a teenage Gerrard drove at the Wednesday defence, jinked his way through two defenders, before finishing low into the bottom corner from an acute angle inside the box.

It is surely one of the best first goals ever scored in the Premier League, but how does it compare to the first strikes by Paul Scholes and Frank Lampard - his main rivals to the claim of England's best ever midfielder?
