Gerrard looks ahead

by Setanta Staff , 22 February 2012 Gerrard looks ahead

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard is looking ahead to leading his team out at Wembley for the first time this Sunday.


The Reds take on Cardiff City in the Carling Cup final but despite having led the side to a string of major trophies, two FA Cups, two League Cups, the UEFA Cup and the Champions League, Gerrard has never led the team out at Wembley.

The skipper admits that Sunday's final will be special as it is at the home of football, Liverpool last four trophies were all won whilst the English domestic cup finals were held at the Millennium Stadium, and Gerrard admits that he used to dream about leading the team out at the stadium.

"Every time I played for Liverpool at Cardiff and led the team out there, there was a bit of me thinking 'if only this was Wembley'," Gerrard told the Liverpool Echo.

"Don't get me wrong, we had some great days in Cardiff and I've got some fantastic memories of playing at the Millennium Stadium, but I'd have preferred to have won those trophies at Wembley.

"When growing up as a kid, I dreamed about playing in cup finals at Wembley.

"Then when I became captain of Liverpool, I dreamed about leading the team out there."
