This will be a strange sight for Liverpool fans.
The last time Steven Gerrard wore a club kit other than Liverpool’s he was just a little lad, and, seemingly, didn’t know any better.
Now though, the club legend and former captain has arrived in Los Angeles and has been officially unveiled as a LA Galaxy player.

Gerrard is pictured with his new Galaxy jersey, featuring his famous number 8, and the Hollywood sign in the background. It’s a long way from Huyton.
The 35 year old is getting used to life in LA, and has already got a taste of the American paparazzi.
Gerrard also revealed he turned down a number of offers from European clubs to play in MLS, saying:Â “I wanted a completely fresh challenge, to come out of my comfort zone, live away from home and get a different life experience and choose a place where my family can enjoy themselves and settle.”
“When I retire from football in a few years time I want to say I did try something different and didn’t stay in the same place — although I loved every minute of it,” Gerrard told LA Galaxy’s TV channel.
The former England captain could make his debut next Saturday, July 11th, against Club America.
