Gerrard Hopes For 100th Goal


Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard hopes his 100th goal for the club will prove to be 'a special one'.

Gerrard took his tally for the Reds to 99 on Tuesday with a decisive brace in the UEFA Champions League group win over Marseille.

The midfielder's first goal for the club arrived in December 1999 against Sheffield Wednesday and he is now on the brink of a personal landmark.

However, Gerrard insists the priority is for Liverpool to keep winning and he accepts there will have to be an improvement upon the Marseille performance.

"I hope it's a special one," Gerrard told Sky Sports about the prospect of his 100th Liverpool goal.

"Hopefully it will come sooner rather than later.

"I'm not thinking about that, I'm just thinking about winning football matches for the team.

"Tonight was a good win, but we'll certainly have to up the performance."

I can't wait until he does score his 100th, little bit surprised he didn't get it years ago though !!
