STEVEN GERRARD SAYS he will return to Liverpool “sooner rather than later” despite enjoying his time at LA Galaxy.
The 35-year-old has started his first full season in California having joined the MLS side halfway through the 2015 campaign on an 18-month contract.
But Gerrard is already thinking about returning to England and settling back in Liverpool at some stage in the not-too-distant future.
“I will be going home at some point,” the midfielder said at a Galaxy fans’ question and answer session.
“Sooner rather than later I will return to where I’m comfortable with my people – and that’s Liverpool.
“I miss going to the games. I spent 35 years in Liverpool. Liverpool’s my home, it always will be. This is my second home for a short period of time.
I miss my friends and my family. I miss a bit of cold weather. I’m getting on a little bit now so eventually we’ll move back and settle in Liverpool.”
Gerrard, though, has enjoyed being away from the spotlight while playing in the United States.
He continued: “Obviously the city’s a fantastic city for myself and my family, the climate, there’s plenty to do. I’m pretty much unnoticed as well, which is a bonus.
“I don’t want to start any unnecessary rumours. I’m really happy where I am at the moment. But I’m sure somewhere down the line I will represent Liverpool Football Club.”
Gerreard scored in the Galaxy’s 4-2 win over New England Revolution last night, while Robbie Keane capped his return to the team with two goals:

Sore losers, can’t buy class.
@Paully Kells: Looks like he is dragging out of a fag in that photo.
@Logan Shepherd: That’s why shirt is pulled up towards his mouth and he’s clearly kissing the badge.
@James Elphick: *The
@James Elphick: Your great craic altogether James.
@Logan Shepherd: Probably has the fag hidden underneath his shirt so he doesn’t get caught. Classic trick from the 90′s
@Paully Kells: they are very frugal in their expenditure on class and tax bills
@Logan Shepherd: I mean he could be smoking a fag. Just my first impression would be he’s kissing the badge ;)
@James Elphick: welcome to the party ha ha ha ha haha ha ha
@James Elphick: “Looks like” the first two words of my comment. Obviously he’s not.
@Logan Shepherd: You’re great crack.
@James Elphick: Ahh I am really James, and I’m sure you are too. It’s just banter as far as I’m concerned :-)
@Logan Shepherd: Haha same as mate. Hope you’re having a good day.
Wouldn’t shake hands with a hun either. A club and especially it’s fans that’s famous for despising Irish people and Catholic people.
@Brian Stafford: You wouldn’t shake hands with Scott Brown then, no?
@James Elphick: I’m excited to hear what you have to say for yourself now
@Brian Stafford: Research it. If you’re able to read that is.
@James Elphick: As a long time Celtic fan I can say you are not totally off the mark to be honest
Scott Brown grew up in the same village in Fife that the legendary Rangers and Scotland player Jim Baxter came from and he could have been a Rangers fan in his childhood days
Both he and Kevin Thompson played for Hibs and both were top transfer targets for Rangers circa 2006/7.
One went and the other rejected.
As they say the rest is history.
@Nick Condon Sen: Yeah thanks for that Nick Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t Brown rejected because of his small frame at the time. Read somewhere that Jock was a Rangers fan but not sure how true that is.
