Haha he isn’t even catholic for a startCeltic fan at my work is genuinely adamant that the young Gerrard had a season ticket at Parkhead as he is a staunch Catholic.
They come out with some truly mental stuff.
Timmy took his appointment really personally.Celtic fan at my work is genuinely adamant that the young Gerrard had a season ticket at Parkhead as he is a staunch Catholic.

He said he even played bounce games at full pelt as he couldn't switch it off, all or nothing.Didn't think so.
As for the video it's funny how the hallmarks of his game are visible so early on his career.
You can tell it's him from that pass in the opening seconds, and the way he runs on to that ball when he scores.
The best thing though is that he's on the winning team against a team called Celtic who play in green and white.
Born in Whiston, Merseyside,[2] Gerrard started out playing for hometown team Whiston Juniors, where he was noticed by Liverpool scouts. He joined the Liverpool Academy at age nine.[19] His childhood footballing heroes were John Barnes and Ian Rush at Liverpool and Paul Gascoigne for England.[20]
Although not a Catholic and living outside the catchment area, Gerrard attended Cardinal Heenan Catholic High School upon the recommendation of his primary school teacher, whose husband was a PE teacher there, due to its superior football reputation over more local schools.[21][22] Gerrard had trials with various clubs at fourteen, but his success was not immediate—Gerrard never made it into the England schoolboys' team. Gerrard's trials included Manchester United, which he claimed in his 2006 autobiography was "to pressure Liverpool into giving me a YTS contract."[23] He signed his first professional contract with Liverpool on 5 November 1997.[23]
