Steven Gerrard: England captain quits international football.
England captain Steven Gerrard has retired from international football after winning 114 caps. Gerrard, 34, won his first cap in a 2-0 win over Ukraine in 2000 and made his last England appearance in a 0-0 draw with Costa Rica at the 2014 World Cup. The Liverpool midfielder said: "I have enjoyed every minute of representing my country. It's a sad day for me. He retires from international duty having scored 21 goals and played at six major tournaments. He ranks third on England's most-capped player list behind only Peter Shilton (125) and David Beckham (115). "It was a very difficult decision to make," said Gerrard. "It's something I have been contemplating for a long time, not just since the end of the World Cup. "It's been a really tough decision, certainly one of the toughest since I turned professional at 18." Gerrard will continue his club career with Liverpool, for whom he made his debut in 1998 against Blackburn Rovers.[hidden image - please register] |
