Steven Gerrard will wear brand new boots for the final two games of his Liverpool career - featuring a message of support inside.
Manufacturer
Adidas have designed some special edition 'predator instinct' boots to
mark the occasion, as he prepares to bid farewell to Anfield later
today.
Adidas say the boots represent Gerrard's 'unbreakable bond' with the city.
Inside it says: "You leave a legend, you'll return a hero. The city of Liverpool is always with you. You'll never walk alone."
The
Reds legend makes his final appearance in front of the Kop against
Crystal Palace this afternoon, before his side travel to Stoke to finish
the season next weekend.
Gerrard posted a picture of himself with the boots to his Instagram
page, captioning: "It has been a very special privilege to put on my
boots and play for @LiverpoolFC. One more time. One last pair of
#predatorinstinct #YNWA @adidasUK."
The boots have his initials 'SG' on the heel, with YNWA underneath,
referencing the famous Anfield anthem 'You'll Never Walk Alone'.
His
children's names are also emblazoned on the side, alongside the number
8, which he has worn with such distinction in a red shirt.
