PIC: Steven Gerrard’s Anfield Farewell boots feature a special message to Liverpool fans

A lengthy a departure as this would be wearing thin with us were it not for the legendary status of Steven Gerrard.

Regardless of who you support, you have to hold your hands up and say that there are few worthier players than Gerrard that deserve a farewell this fond. The Liverpool captain will play his final ever game in front of the Kop when Liverpool host Crystal Palace this evening and every last detail has been planned to make it as special an occasion as possible, right down to this pair of commemorative boots (or cleats as he will be forced to call them in Los Angeles). The special Anfield Farewell adidas Predator Instinct boots feature a nod to Gerrard's upcoming move with the red toes easing into the white of the heel, signifying Gerrard's switch from the Liverpool jersey to that of L.A. Galaxy. https://youtu.be/yMyihluo55M His initials are emboldened on the back of the boot with YNWA written alongside the trademark adidas stripes. And just this morning, we found that there is a touching message on the inside of the boots which pays homage to Gerrard's legendary status on Merseyside. We've got a sneaking suspicion that Mario Balotelli won't get the same treatment when he says his final farewell to Anfield.
