Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard celebrates his 34th birthday today – and to mark the occasion, we have produced a special free video reflecting on the No.8's outstanding career.

More than 15 years after making his debut for the Reds, the midfielder's contribution has not waned in the slightest, with his performances remaining the consistent heartbeat of the team.

He has hauled aloft the Champions League, two FA Cups, three League Cups and one UEFA Cup during his Anfield story, and was voted the winner of our '100 Players Who Shook the Kop' poll in 2013.

The skipper brought Liverpool to the brink of a Barclays Premier League title last season, with Brendan Rodgers' side ultimately finishing second, and will lead England at this summer's World Cup.

Gerrard stands as one of the most respected figures in world football, regularly drawing plaudits from his teammates, peers and icons of the game for his ability and leadership.

So, on his birthday, we are taking a quick-fire look back on a decade-and-a-half of incredible displays. Let us know your thoughts and leave a message for the captain in the comments section below.
