Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has been honoured by the Queen in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.

The England midfielder, who was awarded an MBE in the New Year's Honours list, paid tribute to his family and colleagues for their support.

Gerrard's MBE is in recognition of his contribution to his club, particularly their 2005 Champions League victory.

The 26-year-old England vice-captain said meeting the Queen was a more important event even than the final.

"I've played in special games with special people but I've never experienced anything like this," he said.

"It's completely different nerves to football. In football, I know what I'm going to do but today is a big day and a proud day for me."

The Liverpool captain, who has won two FA Cups as well as his Champions League winners' medal, added: "I've achieved a lot but I'm still only 26 and it's early in my career. I'm hungry for more."


what do you think about his comments, meeting the queen is bigger than finals

He's bound to say that - it's akin to us going to a new bird's house and saying "This house is nicer than such and such."

I wouldn't worry about it mate.

Good on him for getting it, though - it's not like he doesn't deserve it. :nod

yeah I am not complkaining about it mate, just wonderiing on what people thought, you are right that you compliment where you are at the time.

its like all this fus about rafa bigging up real madrid in an interview, of course he isnt going to say he dislikes them as he may well go there one day, but saying nice stuff now doesnt mean he is going now

I know A lot of Liverpool fans, mainly native to Liverpool, aren't England fans and don't' show any allegiance to England but this isn't true for all Liverpool fans.

I am a big England fan and fairly patriotic, this probably does have to do with where I live but not entirely. Its clear that the likes of Gerrard, Carragher, etc love playing for their country and England means a lot to them. I'm not saying it means more to them than Liverpool but it does hold an important place in their lives as it shows when you see how proud Gerrard is when he is honoured by his country with a MBE.


Also...

How the hell is the comment "I've played in special games with special people but I've never experienced anything like this,"

meant to mean "meeting the queen is bigger than finals"??

That's a load of bollox, all Gerrard is saying is that it was an unforgettable experience. He doesn't state it is better than a final at any point.

That's class. Showing respect to the Queen.


The Queen should give Liverpool Football Club an official mark of approval and make us a "Royal" club.

Considering the teams large Irish fanbase I wouldn't see that going down too well  :oops:

and like SouthCoastShankly said, Stevie never said anything remotely like "meeting the Queen was bigger than the finals".

Well they'll have to get over that. This is the UK after all, not Eire.

I am well pleased for Gerrard, naturally, but I can't help but think, shouldnt an mbe be awarded to people who have done something like saving lives/soldiers who protect their country by fighting in wars?  What are everyones views on this?
Oh Gerro we love you

now stevie g has got to be worried what he says in case the irish get offended?

Stevie is patriotic to club and country. (and it is a bit of an honour to get an invite from the queen to get an mbe!!!)

cant we ust say well done lad for once and not moan?
