NEW SIGNING STEVEN Gerrard was introduced to the LA Galaxy crowd last night during their 4-0 win over Toronto last night, ahead of his potential debut in two weeks time.
With Americans enjoying 4th of July yesterday, the hardcore Galaxy fans, known as the “LA Riot Squad” held their “Picnication” party before the game, and the refreshments table was well stocked, courtesy of their new signing.
If first impressions last forever, Gerrard is going to be a big hit in LA, after sending several cases of beer, along with a special note to the fans.
The note reads: “Even though I’ve yet to wear an LA Galaxy jersey, I am excited for the opportunity to play in front of LARS (LA Riot Squad) and earn your respect.
“Supporters are the lifeblood of any club and I know that with your support we’ll challenge for MLS Cup again.
“As a token of my appreciation for what you do for the club, I wanted to provide you with the refreshments for the 4th of July.
“I look forward to meeting you at tonight’s match.”
A clever move from Gerrard to get the fans on his side so early, and a nice touch of class along with it.
Nice touch, shame he left the prem he still had a lot to offer the league
Did he though? I mean really? His last season at Liverpool he was brutal
Liverpool were pretty much brutal all over the park last season. A better manager would have used him to great effect but Brendan ‘whats tactics’ Rodgers hasn’t the brain.
I’d have to disagree. I think he became a spent force. I honestly believe almost winning the league took everything out of him.
LARS. I’d say the Riot Squad are a right wild bunch altogether.
I thought he was a red head!!
Earn your respect ! Seems more like he’s trying to buy it
If Steven Gerrard was really as ordinary on the field as you and those like you constantly remind everyone else, you wouldn’t feel compelled to do so on literally every single article that’s written about him. All he’s done is buy a few beers to acknowledge the 4th july but even that gesture is scrutinised. Bit pathetic really.
Sad person? People like you always find the negative in a story
maybe he should bought prawn sandwiches…
Tell me where the positive is in the story ?
there’s a positive for the lads who got free gargle.
Nothing more then a PR stunt Paul
granted but free gargle has to be a positive
Likes his beer. Makes punching the DJ all the more enjoyable.
Those are nice beers as well. I’d love a few stones now
Sountzzz
