Flashback: Stevie's 2006 World Cup bow
After injury had cruelly robbed him of his chance four years earlier, Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard featured at his first World Cup in 2006 and wasted little time in making a big impression.
Weeks after inspirationally guiding his club to FA Cup glory, the midfielder was a central figure as the Three Lions reached the quarter-finals at the tournament in Germany.
Gerrard had three Anfield colleagues alongside him in the squad, there were three Reds representatives in the Spanish group and Harry Kewell was a pivotal player behind Australia's run.
The final would pit two European heavyweights against one another, with France taking on Italy, although the match is remembered more for a stunning Zinedine Zidane moment.
