What They're Saying
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers (via the Guardian): "I am respectful and this guy is one of the greatest players in the history of the Premier League and arguably the greatest player of this club, but what I do know is that Stevie [Gerrard] always puts the team first. I have huge respect for him whether he is playing or not playing, and huge admiration for him as a player and person."
Swansea City manager Garry Monk (via Independent): "My values are more old-school. Honesty, which Brendan had. His professionalism, the discipline to do your job the best you can every single day. His man-management was brilliant. Then there's the technical, tactical side of it. All those things, Brendan did very well and he was approachable, likeable, enthusiastic."
