Steven Gerrard to Auction Boots from Anfield Farewell to Help Refugees

Steven Gerrard: Great footballer, great guy.

The former Liverpool captain endured an emotional farewell from Anfield last May, and to mark the occasion Adidas made an extremely rare boot for the midfielder. 

Now, Gerrard has signed a pair that will be put on eBay to raise money for refugees. 

As per the Telegraph: 

"

The boots, which were presented to Gerrard in his final game as a Liverpool player, will be auctioned off on eBay, with the proceeds being donated to the British Red Cross Europe Refugee Appeal.

"

"

Only 17 pairs of the special edition boots were made by Adidas, one for every year the former Liverpool FC and England captain played for Liverpool.

Inside the boot is a touching farewell message, which reads ‘You leave a legend, you’ll return a hero. The city of Liverpool is always with you. You’ll never walk alone.’

The kind gesture is sure to raise a nice sum as it is a piece of memorabilia all Liverpool fans would love to get their hands on.

Well played, Stevie G.
