Robert Redmond

Gerrard Houllier was Liverpool manager, the squad featured Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler and the current captain was starting because Jamie Redknapp was injured.

Steven Gerrard scored his first goal for Liverpool this day 15 years ago. The Liverpool captain was just 19 at the time and scored a goal that would become a hallmark of his career, as his side beat Sheffield Wednesday 4-1 at Anfield.

Gerrard picked the ball up in the centre of the pitch, drove on, beat two Wednesday defenders, before powering home a finish.
