Steven Gerrard is a hero to millions, not only as the inspirational captain of Liverpool FC, but as a key member of the England team. Here, for the first time, he tells the story of his lifelong obsession with football, in an honest and revealing book which captures the extraordinary camaraderie, the soul-destroying tensions and the high-octane thrills of the modern game as never before.

Born in the Liverpool suburb of Huyton in 1980, Steven first joined Liverpool as a YTS trainee and played his first game for the first team aged just 18. His career has gone from strength to strength ever since and he is now the team`s captain and its lynchpin. Liverpool`s incredible comeback in the Champions` League final in Istanbul in May 2005, recovering from a 3-goal deficit against AC Milan to win on penalties, is testament to the amazing power Gerrard has over his team. His presence on the pitch is a force to be reckoned with and places him amongst the very first rank of players in the world.

A relatively private figure, Steven has rarely spoken out in public. Now, his legions of fans will be allowed an intimate glimpse of what makes their hero tick. He speaks for the first time about the torturous will-he-won`t-he Chelsea rumours and his undying passion for Liverpool. We experience first-hand the highs of winning in Istanbul and elsewhere, as well as the occasional lows of being parted from his much-loved family and friends. And of course, the book contains a full blow-by-blow account of England`s world cup campaign in Germany 2006.

Steven Gerrard`s book is the definitive football autobiography. Like its subject, it`s honest, passionate and exhilarating. If Steven Gerrard isn`t your hero yet, by the time you`ve read this he will be...

U Mojoj priči Stiven Džerard pokriva celu svoju igračku karijeru. Govori o „čudu u Istanbulu” iz 2005. godine, po mnogima jednom od najboljih finala Lige šampiona, najvažnijim utakmicama u karijeri, odnosu sa trenerima, poput Beniteza, Brendana Rodžersa, ali i Murinja i Fergusona, slavnim, ali i teškim trenucima, posvećenosti fudbalu i Liverpulu i samo Liverpulu.
Čitajući, saznaćete mnogo i o Suarezu, Toresu, Karageru, o okršajima sa Mančester junajtedom i Vidićem, Čelsijem i Ivanovićem, ali i o mnogim kako ličnim tako i profesionalnim pojedinostima koje se prvi put pominju u ovoj knjizi.
Kroz ovu knjigu nećete hodati sami – tu će uvek biti prisutan duh Enfilda i kopa, a vodiće vas kapiten crvenih – fudbaler kog je obeležio jedan klub i koji je obeležio jedan klub i jednu fudbalsku eru.
Iznad svega, ovo je neverovatna i dragocena priča o tome šta znači biti lojalan jednom klubu i kad je najlepše i kad je najteže – igrati, pa šta bude.
Srčana, hrabra i brutalno iskrena, Moja priča Stivena Džerarda je poslednja reč igrača kakvih više skoro i da nema – čoveka koji je veran svojoj reči i svom klubu isto koliko je veran sebi.
Stiven Džerard, nosilac Ordena Britanskog kraljevstva (MBE), legendarni je bivši kapiten Liverpula i engleske reprezentacije. Kao jedini igrač u istoriji koji je postigao golove u finalima FA kupa, Liga-kupa, UEFA kupa i Lige šampiona, on je inspiracija i za navijače i za fudbalere. Njegova lojalnost svom voljenom Liverpulu – kojem se pridružio kao osmogodišnjak i za koji je odigrao preko sedamsto utakmica – obezbedila mu je mesto među večnim velikanima Enfilda, a njegov neizbrisivi doprinos reprezentaciji ubedljivo ga je svrstao među najbolje fudbalere Engleske svih vremena.
