Xabi Alonso leads tributes to Steven Gerrard
Steven Gerrard was one of the best midfielders of his generation – so it’s only right that some of the game’s leading lights were quick to pay tribute to his career.
Xabi Alonso, who was also part of the Liverpool team that won the Champions League in 2005, was one of the first to tweet his response after Gerrard officially announced his retirement from football.
The Legend Forever.

And a host of other football stars who either played with or against him also had their say.
We started at Liverpool together at 11. He was brilliant then. He went on to be world class. Liverpool's greatest player. Congrats Stevie G.
