Steven Gerrard apparently doesn’t own a pain threshold.
You must have been living under a rock or wisely refusing to click into the story to have avoided hearing about the horrific injury that the former Liverpool midfielder sustained last season.
Gerrard revealed that he required stitches in his penis to sew up a cut suffered in a tackle against Bournemouth in last season’s FA Cup.
And thanks to the industrious work of Youtuber Beanyman, we can now see the exact challenge that led to the injury which sounds like the least fun that could ever be had.

Gerrard was closing down a challenge from Harry Arter when he had little Stevie cut open and tough-as-nails as he is, the ex-Reds captain didn’t even flinch.
He simply filled his position at the resulting corner kick and gave a bit of guff to the referee.
It wasn’t until he got back into the dressing room that he got his todger seen to.
“It was eye-watering. I tried to close down a winger to block his cross but felt a stinging in my privates. I thought, ‘S–t — that doesn’t feel right!’ It was stinging like f–k.
“The gash looked pretty bad, right across the middle. There was plenty of blood. I needed four stitches and the lads were absolutely pissing themselves.”
Not a fun story.
