Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard is set to receive the Freedom of the City after his outstanding career with the Anfield club.

Gerrard, 36, captained the Reds to Champions League and FA Cup triumphs after emerging from the youth academy to become a darling of the Kop.

The Merseyside-born midfielder played 710 times in 17 years with Liverpool and won nine trophies before joining LA Galaxy in 2015. He retired in November last year.
