Steven Gerrard earns Premier League Hall of Fame induction as Rangers boss receives ultimate honour

Steven Gerrard has been handed the ultimate accolade for his storied playing career - an induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame.

It's been a spectacular season for the Rangers boss who led the Ibrox side to Invincible Premiership glory.

He joined from Liverpool in 2018 and has quickly earned himself legendary status in the south of Glasgow.

The only place where he is arguably held in higher regard is at Anfield, where he made more than 700 appearances for the Reds.

And he has now been recognised for his time at Liverpool with an induction into the Premier League's new Hall of Fame.

Gerrard becomes the seventh name in the Class of 2021 joining Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Dennis Bergkamp and Frank Lampard.

His induction page on the Premier League website reads: "After coming through Liverpool’s Academy, Steven Gerrard spent 17 years as the driving force of the Merseysiders’ midfield in the Premier League.

"Famed for his driving runs, his ability to inspire team-mates and his spectacular strikes from distance, only Frank Lampard has scored more from midfield than Gerrard's 120 goals.

"The Reds’ long-serving captain also provided 92 top-flight assists and won six monthly awards in his stellar career."
