Carrying one daughter on his shoulders and with his two others by his side, Steven Gerrard circled the field inside Anfield and received the acclaim of his adoring Liverpool fans one last time.
Red-and-white scarves were thrown in front of him. He was serenaded with songs. Teammates past and present followed him around, all wearing jerseys with “Gerrard 8” on the back, and were careful to keep their distance, letting a club icon savor the moment.
It was the end of an era at Anfield on Saturday as Gerrard played his final home match in the red of Liverpool he has represented with distinction for 17 years.
The game ended in a 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace, but that didn’t really matter to Liverpool’s fans. Saturday was all about saying farewell to arguably the club’s greatest ever player.
