On one half of Merseyside Steven Gerrard is a hero, a legend, a demi-god.
To Liverpool fans he is the local boy who fulfilled the dream of every Reds supporter in the land by coming through the ranks and going on to captain his home town club to a plethora of trophies including the European Cup.

For many years Everton fans had to watch on in envy as Liverpool competed for trophies with a homegrown Scouser at the heart of the side.

Jamie takes up the story:
