Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard snubbed by Sven-Goran Eriksson in 'most talented' debate

Former England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson has snubbed Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard when naming the “most talented player” he’s coached.

The Reds legend played for a number of managers during his playing career, for both club and country. For England, Gerrard earned 45 of his 114 caps under Eriksson’s stewardship.
