Liverpool's Captain Gerrard Won't Even Walk On The Beach Barefoot


Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard's wife claims that her superstar husband is so obsessed with being clean that he won't even walk barefoot on a beach.

Recalling their first wedding anniversary getaway to Miami in June, Alex, 25, told the Daily Mirror: 'We didn't leave the pool on holiday because Steven doesn't like to get his feet dirty in the sand. The pool is cleaner.

'And if he reads a newspaper, he has to wash his hands straight away.'

England midfielder Gerrard, 28, who lines up against the Czech Republic at Wembley tonight, is not the only footballer with a strange hang up.

David Beckham suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a condition that drives sufferers to carry out bizarre rituals.

Becks, 30, admits his compulsive habits include checking how many cans of cola he has in his fridge, counting clothes and placing magazines in symmetrical patterns.
