Saturday marks 16 years to the day that Steven Gerrard made his senior debut for the Reds.

To mark the occasion there is a special collector's edition of the matchday programme for the visit of Stoke City in the Barclays Premier League.

As well as hearing from the man himself ahead of the milestone, we also catch up with some of Steven's early mentors at the club in a revealing feature.

Former teammate and Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher also speaks about the skipper in a guest column and recalls the moment when he knew Steven was destined for big things.

Elsewhere, we hear the views of manager Brendan Rodgers in his column, while there is also an exclusive interview with forward Fabio Borini.

Former Liverpool defender Gary Gillespie previews the fixture from a tactical perspective while there is a detailed look at the Stoke squad and a walk down memory lane reflecting on past matches against the men from the Potteries.

There is all the latest news from the club's Ladies and Academy teams, while U18s duo Nathan Sheron and Liam Griffin go head to head in the latest round of the popular Academy Challenge.

With all this and much, much more, make sure you pick up your copy of the official matchday programme which is priced at just £3.

A digital edition is also available via your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, and Android devices alongside PC and Mac. Fans can also download it from the Pocketmags app on Kindle Fire and Blackberry Playbook.
