Steven Gerrard likens one year-old son to Liverpool star in adorable snap

It seems Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard’s youngest child is already learning from the current crop of Anfield icons.

Ahead of the Reds' crunch Champions League showdown with Porto on Tuesday night, Gerrard posted an adorable snap of his one-year-old son Lio playing football on his Instagram account.

The Rangers manager captioned his post: “No look @roberto_firmino.”
