    In 1998, a fresh-faced Steven Gerrard walked into a barber's shop as a promising Liverpool youngster and asked for a short back and sides.

    And, as these Merlin Premier League stickers chronicling Gerrard's career will attest, nothing has changed in the subsequent years.

    Number two in the barber's chair, number one in the heart of modern-day Liverpool fans.

    Back to Steven Gerrard, who is set to play for Liverpool in front of his home crowd for the last time today.

    "There were 10 or 12 years where Steven Gerrard, in any outfield position for Liverpool, would have been the best player in the team. A one-club man who was the scorer of great goals, a great passer and a player who drove the team on."

    "This is billed as Steven Gerrard's Anfield farewell but, you know what, I don't think it will be his last game there for Liverpool.

    "We have seen players come back to England from Major League Soccer in the United States on loan before and, if he wants to do that, then Gerrard is not going to go anywhere else in this country.

    "I don't see Crystal Palace ruining Gerrard's big day. It is basically a chance for all Liverpool fans to say thank you and pay homage to him.

    "He has scored in his last two games and it would be nice if he got a goal in this game too. But he is not going to play the full 90 minutes is he? And, when he comes off early, he will get the longest standing ovation in Anfield's history."

    There is actually a matter more important to Liverpool possibly sealing fifth place and a Europa League spot.

    It might have escaped you, but it's actually Steven Gerrard's final league game at Anfield. I know, taken aback aren't you?

    He made more than 700 appearances over 17 seasons and won the Champions League, Uefa Cup, two FA Cups and three League Cups - but no Premier League title.

    "You are always going to have incredible moments and you are also going to have some cruel lows as well," Gerrard told Football Focus.

    "I also look at other FA Cup finals that I have missed out on and the second Champions League final in 2007.

    "Nobody's journey ever goes smoothly, mine certainly hasn't, but I am certainly proud of it and I wouldn't change it for anything."
