The midfielder played over 700 games for the Reds throughout his career and was very influential in bringing the Champions League, UEFA Cup, FA Cup and League Cup back to Anfield.

The impressive thing about Gerrard was the fact that the Reds legend carried teams to trophies as the Merseyside club’s former captain did not always have the best players around him.

This is what has put Gerrard ahead of other Liverpool legends such as Kenny Daglish when it comes to the debate of who the greatest player to ever play for the club is.

Should the winger win the biggest individual award in the sport or another PFA Players’ Player of the Year award, that could see the Egyptian become Liverpool’s greatest player in the eyes of Carragher.

Speaking on The Overlap Fan Debate, the Sky Sports pundit said: “Great players come and I didn’t think ‘How could anyone do more than Stevie?’ he spent his whole career at the club, what happened in Istanbul and the cup final a year later.”

“But, Salah is going to get player of the year.

I don’t think anyone has won Player of the Year three times, and if he wins the Ballon d’Or as well.

If someone argued that Salah was Liverpool’s number one player, if he wins the Ballon d’Or or another PFA Player of the Year, you can’t argue against it.

It is already hard to argue against Salah being Liverpool’s greatest player as the Egyptian has won everything at Anfield, in addition to all the goal contributions and records he has broken.
