PIC: Artist’s sketch of Steven Gerrard using only lyrics from YNWA would make an unreal birthday gift

We're looking forward to seeing Steven Gerrard finish up his Liverpool career by lifting the FA Cup on his 35th birthday today.

Wait... what happened? Villa? Semi? Grealish? Tim Sherwood may have scuppered the dream send-off for the Liverpool captain but it was never really going to happen, was it? The Liverpool captain still goes down as a legend, arguably the best player ever to pull on the red jersey, and this artist's sketch of the Merseyside icon would make a pretty fine birthday present now that a trophy is off the table.

Visual artist Annemarie Wright put together this phenomenal portrait of the LA Galaxy-bound midfielder using just the lyrics to Anfield anthem "You'll Never Walk Alone."   We're part awed, part inspired and part embarrassed at our distinct lack of comparable talent. Jamie Carragher, meanwhile, was up early to post birthday greetings to his former Liverpool teammate on Instagram. https://instagram.com/p/3TXoPqKMtH/
