Michael Beale has cited Steven Gerrard as one of the biggest influences on him as a man as he prepares to go it alone as QPR boss.
The former Rangers coach was an integral part of the Rangers backroom team that helped deliver a first Premiership title in a decade.
Along with assistant Gary McAllister, Beale helped rebuild the Ibrox club under Gerrard, culminating in the unbeaten 202/21 campaign that finally delivered a 55th topflight crown.
